Why Do We Record the Attributes of a Coating Failure as a Result of an Adhesion Test?

Product Number: 51220-229-SG
Author: David J Barnes
Publication Date: 2020
$20.00

International standards, both ISO and ASTM, require that the attributes exhibited during an adhesion test are recorded as part of the results. What are these attributes, how should they be recorded and what value are they to the inspector and applicator in assessing the reason for failure?  This paper looks at all these questions and asks should we be going further than we do in defining the mode of failure.

Why Epoxy Coatings are the Most Practical Lining Material for Municipal Manhole Rehabilitations Where Elevated Levels of H2S/Sulfuric Acid are Present

Product Number: 51220-231-SG
Author: Timothy Bauman
Publication Date: 2020
$20.00

 In our world of protective coatings, water usually seems to cause trouble. In relation to coating concrete - determining how wet the manhole structure is paramount in our struggle to rehabilitate these manholes. And we are not talking about the manholes used to contain water during heavy rains or floods, strictly the sanitary manholes. A few ASTM test methods are important tools.

Why Would Anyone Not Galvanize Steel if They Can?

Product Number: 41211-608-SG
Author: Francis Gerace
Publication Date: 2011
$20.00

There are many products which protect structural steel from corrosion. There is also an intense focus on sustainability. Hot-dip galvanizing is one product that provides economical, long-lived, and sustainable corrosion protection. It is also more durable than most other barrier systems. Not all steel can be galvanized because sometimes the elements are too long and/or too heavy to be placed in the baths.
