Problems related to standardising in corrosion engineering practice in the year 2002

January 2002

Authors:

The present situation evolved by the ratification of standards in English (and in some cases in German) is not acceptable for the practising engineers. It means that the guidance of the technical works are expressed in foreign language; and not only in the field of corrosion protection. The practice of cathodic protection is regulated by one standard in Hungarian and six standards in English. This situation causes confusion mainly in construction and operation. The statement of the Chamber of Hungarian Engineers afford an acceptable compromise.

New results in corrosion protection with Progasol inhibitors and multipurpose corrosion appliances i...

January 1994 · Korrozios Figyelo

Corrosion protection and monitoring are essential conditions for continuous operation of oil and natural gas plants. The so-called multipurpose appliance is a reliable basis for up-to-date monitoring systems. During several years of research a series of inhibitors called Progasols was developed to reduce corrosion damage in oil-fields. By the application of inhibitors and the up-to-date ...

New development in technical standards for corrosion and corrosion protection

January 2014

Technical standards are developed by a panel of experts, within a technical committee in frame of various standardisation organisations. The most important are ISO and ESS - the European standardization system (ESS) comprises the three recognised European Standards Organisations (ESOs) - CEN, CENELEC and ETSI. There are many technical committees or subcommittees for evaluation and testing of ... [Show full abstract] corrosion and corrosion protection, for each type of corrosion protection (paint systems, metallic coatings, cathodic protection, vitreous coatings, conversion coatings, ⋯), e.g. ISO/TC 156, ISO/TC 107, ISO/TC 35, CEN/TC 139, CEN/TC 219, CEN/TC 240 and CEN/TC 262. In Czech Republic the activity of all these TC are covered by TNK 32. The paper presents the most important news in this technical standards' development during last 2 years. From their large number the most important standards (newly developed or significantly changed) are mentioned in details.

J. Orban

Fixation of chlorides and application of cathodic protection are enumerated as possibilities. Methods of reinforcement are described with a lot of figures for the following cases: use of additional support instead of frictional joining with supporting devices having a collar-like shape; restoration of original supporting power by free cables. The framework IMS is not generally accepted. There are ... [Show full abstract] such opinions that is an entirely unsuitable construction. But others say it is suitable with proper corrosion protection of straining cables. (English summary)

ZINC DUST PAINTS —: chemical or electrochemical protection?

December 1961 · Anti-Corrosion Methods and Materials

R.H. Chandler

There is a common area of agreement that zinc dust paints can protect steel exposed adjacent to surfaces covered by the paint and that cathodic protection, if present, is rapidly stifled by the formation and deposition of zinc corrosion products. In this review of early English and subsequent German research into the mechanism of the protective action the weight of evidence favours the chemical ... [Show full abstract] protection theory.

Corrosion protection of pipeline with heat insulation

January 1995 · Korrozios Figyelo

I. Nemeth

Experiences with corrosion of the external surfaces of heat transmission lines laid in concrete conduit in the Hungarian capital are summarised. The pipelines of warm and boiling water are more endangered than the steamlines because their temperature is high. A lot of topics are discussed: structure of heat transmission line laid in concrete conduit, effect of stray current, and protective ... [Show full abstract] measures applied. Corrosion protection of heat transmission lines necessitates the water tightness of conduit, application of protective coating and cathodic protection. Experiences with the protective measures are detailed. (English summary)

Physical scale modelling of stray current interference to shipboard ICCP system

February 2017 · Corrosion Engineering Science and Technology

Cathodic protection is commonly used for corrosion protection of the underwater hull structures of naval platforms. Cathodic protection works by establishing an electrostatic field that provides the desired potential and current distributions in the seawater surrounding the structures to be protected. Interference to a ship’s cathodic protection system may occur when the ship is alongside a jetty ... [Show full abstract] or another naval ship due to the influence of the electrostatic field associated with the cathodic protection system employed on the jetty or another naval ship. The interference may alter the electrostatic field surrounding the ship and, therefore, the level of corrosion protection to the ship hull. In the current study, a physical scale modelling technique is used to evaluate how, and to what extent, the level of cathodic protection on a ship hull could be affected by an external current source. A 1/100 scale ship model with two-zone four-anode impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) system is used in the study. The modelling results indicate that the presence of stray current may affect the potential distribution along the ship hull. The extent of stray current effect depends on a number of factors including the relative position and layout of stray current source, the magnitude and direction of the stray current flow and the operating mode of the shipboard ICCP system.

Evaluation of corrosion prevention methods for above ground storage tank bottoms

January 1993

An investigation was conducted to determine the effectiveness of various corrosion protection methods for above ground storage tanks with secondary containment designs. Small-scale test tanks simulating the environment and geometry of an inner section of a double-bottom storage tank were exposed with and without cathodic protection (CP). Results showed that, when measured reference potentials and ... [Show full abstract] CP current suggest corrosion has been arrested, CP may not completely protect against corrosion.

Corrosion damage of the equipment for cleaning the ballast water from tankers

May 1987 · Soviet Materials Science

The authors analyze the corrosion of shore equipment used for the cleaning of tanker ships and the corrosive effects of sea water and residual petroleum products on the equipment. They also suggest several scenarios for corrosion protection involving the use of inhibitors, galvanic and cathodic protection, and material substitution in the equipment itself.

Three layer polyolefin coatings: Fulfilling their potential? An alternative philosophy

September 2006

D.W. Harvey

Three Layer Polyolefin Coatings (3LPE) promote long term corrosion protection, low maintenance costs, resistance to damage during installation, resistance to penetration by rocks, high insulating properties, good long term adhesion and resistance to cathodic disbonding. Amidst these advantages though, 3LPEs exhibit several defects such as loss of adhesion from metal substrate at cutback/weld ... [Show full abstract] areas, loss of adhesion from substrate allowing all three layers to be pulled away and permeability of water vapor and oxygen at defects causing corrosion beneath the coating. These defects are mostly due to loss of adhesion of the inner FBE layer to the steel substrate. It is advocated that 3LPE has more undesirable characteristics than desirable ones. An alternative philosophy is the use of the tried and tested methods of applying a good FBE coating with properly designed cathodic protection systems.

To master the anti-corrosion situation on the petroleum pipeline, we have investigate the effectiveness of the anticorrosion coatings, as well as, the combination of insulation coating with cathodic protection in Maoming Refinery oil-line. The results indicated that the coating or the insulation coating alone showed poor protectiveness, their life cycle was no longer than 1-2 year. However, the ... [Show full abstract] combination of insulation coating with cathode protection showed good protectiveness with a longer lifecycle. A proper choice of the cathode protection potential and the distance between potentiometer stations is the key issue to ensure to effectiveness of the combined measures. Through the investigation, it is propesed for a region of local climate of high temperature and high humidity, that the optimal potential for the cathodic protection is between - 0.85V - - 1. 20V, 5 and one cathodic protection station must be established for a distance of 45 km and one coatodic protection potentiometer should be set for Maoming region for a distance of 1 km.
