Thermal Imaging as a Forensic Tool in Coating Failure Investigations

Thermal Imaging as a Forensic Tool in Coating Failure Investigations
Available for download

This paper discusses the use of thermal imaging as an analytical tool in forensic investigations of moisture-related coating failures applied over hollow core building walls. The success of thermal imaging depends upon detecting subtle temperature differences arising from differences in thermal conductivity of the coated wall surfaces. The method is a valuable adjunct to contemporary failure investigation methodology.

The Responsibility of the Third Party Inspector in Today’s Marine Environment

Product Number: 41208-433-SG

The marine inspector is responsible for monitoring the coating specification in its simplest form. Applicators and shipyards get caught up with the inspectors when warranties are mentioned. As I have discussed with owners, yards and applicators, I know of no way to dial in an inspectors criteria based upon warranty. The inspector’s criteria will be based upon the coating specifications. How he handles this depends upon his training, experience and education. Many third party inspectors come from coating companies or applicators. They may or may not get certification from NACE or SSPC.

Powder Coating - Contract Metal Finishing; How to Avoid Premature Coating Failures

Product Number: 41208-406-SG

Every year millions of dollars are spent litigating the responsibility issues associated with the repair or replacement of coated products that have prematurely lost their decorative or protective value due to improper coating specification or application. Many of these failures could have been avoided if the proper finishing materials and methods were specified, followed, certified and documented.

Proposed Standard for Levels of Inspection

Product Number: 41208-431-SG
Author: Louis G. Lyras, Dave Hatherill, William LePage
Publication Date: 2008
$20.00

This paper identifies the problems with current inspection procedures and discusses a proposed standard for levels of inspection that the owner will specify in the contract documents. The paper identifies the problems and cost to contractors and owners for inspection without clear and specified inspection standards and will demonstrate a savings without compromising the quality of the work.
