The Correlation of Appearances of Appearances of Changes and Long term Corrosion Protection for Aromatic Polyurethane Coatings Used on Steel Water Pipes

The Correlation of Appearances of Appearances of Changes and Long term Corrosion Protection for Aromatic Polyurethane Coatings Used on Steel Water Pipes
Available for download

Aromatic polyurethane coatings are often used in the protection of steel water pipelines from corrosion. Unfortunately, pipeline sections may be stored above ground for many months before installation so the coatings yellow, lose gloss and can chalk. This deterioration in appearance naturally creates doubt about the corrosion protective qualities of the coatings.

Aromatic polyurethane coatings are often used in the protection of steel water pipelines from corrosion. Unfortunately, pipeline sections may be stored above ground for many months before installation so the coatings yellow, lose gloss and can chalk. This deterioration in appearance naturally creates doubt about the corrosion protective qualities of the coatings. A two year study of five such coatings exposed in Florida and Texas, as well as in accelerated weathering, established the kinetics of degradation. Color, gloss, albedo, coating thickness and corrosion protection (via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) were monitored during these exposures. Despite the rapid loss in appearance, corrosion protection remained intact. There may be links between some properties such as the rate of thickness reduction and gloss loss, but the kinetics of corrosion protection failure is much more complicated. Coating parameters determining corrosion protection will be discussed as well as some of the problems involved in choosing experimental conditions to assess properly how those parameters might change.

Surface Roughness Profile and its effect on Coating Adhesion and Corrosion Protection

Product Number: 51220-238-SG

Modern design, manufacturing and field-testing specifications include surface profile and adhesion testing on the assumption that they are linked to long term corrosion prevention. There are a number of careful studies, dating back decades, that find no link between measurements of adhesion and (undercutting) corrosion performance, but other studies do, and the concept remains intuitively appealing and widely assumed.

Variability in Accelerated Corrosion Testing

Product Number: 51220-276-SG

Accelerated corrosion test methods are regularly utilized in coating industries to predict the performance of coatings in real life exposure. The performance of coatings in these accelerated tests is a key step in the product development cycle. It is essential to understand different factors that may introduce variability in the test result.

 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.
