    LABORATORY INVESTIGATION

    The laboratory investigation consisted of performing various physical tests on the coating membrane Durashield 210 in accordance with the specification received from Lifelast, Inc. The specification outlined testing parameters for the following tests: water absorption, permeance, cathodic disbondment (attached cell method), adhesion to steel (dry), wet adhesion to steel, impact resistance, abrasion resistance, tensile strength and flexibility. Retesting of cathodic disbondment, dry adhesion to steel and wet adhesion to steel was performed in July 2010. The test descriptions and the results of the testing are provided below. Photographs of the test apparatus and final panel condition are included in this report (see Appendix 1). Water Absorption The water absorption of the Free Film Sample was measured according to ASTM D 570, “Standard Test Method for Water Absorption of Plastics.” Three (3) bars measuring 3 x 1 were cut from the free film and the thickness of each bar was measured using Mitutoyo Digimatic Calipers. The samples were conditioned in an oven maintained at 50°F for twenty-four (24) hours. After conditioning, the samples were immediately weighed. The samples were then submerged in individual containers of deionized water maintained at laboratory conditions of 23.0°C ± 3°C. The samples were removed from the water following twenty-four (24) hours, one week and every two (2) weeks thereafter. The samples were wiped dry of any excess water, weighed and immediately replaced in the water. The percent increase in weight was determined using the following equation: Increase in weight (%) = (wet weight – conditioned weight)/ conditioned weight*100 The percent increase in weight is reported in Table 3, “Water Absorption Data.”

  • Water Vapor Permeability Four (4) discs of the coating (one [1] designated as the control disc) were cut from the Free Film Sample and tested for water vapor permeability using the inverted water method (Method BW) of ASTM E 96, “Standard Test Methods for Water Vapor Transmission of Materials.” The thickness of each disk was measured in five (5) spots using Mitutoyo Digimatic Calipers. Each disc was sealed to a 4 diameter glass dish filled ¾ of the way with deionized water. The discs were sealed to the dishes using wax. The dishes were then weighed, inverted and placed into a temperature/humidity chamber maintained at approximately 23.0 C and 50% relative humidity for a period of seventeen (17) days. The dishes were weighed separately at various recorded intervals, and the results plotted on the graph, as well as thickness and area of the discs. The permeance in English (inch-pounds) units is reported in Table 4, “Permeability Results.” A table containing daily weights of the samples and other pertinent data is appended.

    4 31.5 0.039 Cathodic Disbondment Cathodic disbondment was tested in accordance with ASTM G 95, “Standard Test Method for Cathodic Disbondment Test of Pipeline Coatings (Attached Cell Method)” at ambient laboratory conditions (25°C). The panels were inspected for holidays using a high voltage holiday detector. Coating thickness measurements were obtained on each sample using a PosiTector 600-F3 non-destructive dry film thickness gage. A diameter holiday was drilled into the center of panels KTA-4, KTA-5 and KTA-6 (15-CD, 16-CD and 18CD, respectively). A 4 diameter plastic pipe section was adhered to each panel with silicone adhesive, and the “cell” was filled with approximately 1000 mL of an electrolyte solution consisting of 3% by mass sodium chloride and deionized water. A -3.0 V potential was impressed upon each of the samples for twenty-eight (28) days. The samples were removed and evaluated for disbondment after twenty-eight (28) days. Adhesion was assessed at the immersed holiday site and at one (1) non-immersed site by cutting 45° radial cuts in the shape of an “X” through the coating to the substrate at the sites and manually peeling back the coating with a utility knife blade to determine the extent of coating adhesion loss. The amount of coating disbondment was measured from the original holiday to the furthest point of exposed substrate. A holiday was also drilled in a non-immersed area of each panel and two (2) additional radial cuts were made at the sites. Coating adhesion was assessed in the same manner. Coating thickness measurements and disbondment data are provided in Table 5, “Results of Cathodic Disbondment Testing.” A portion of the steel was stained around the holiday. Measurements of the stained area were obtained and reported in Table 6, “Radial Staining of Cathodic Disbondment Testing.”

    * Table provided per client request. The radial staining is not typically reported when disbondment data is obtainable. Adhesion to Steel (Dry) Tensile adhesion (pull-off strength) was measured in accordance with ASTM D 4541, “Pull-Off Strength of Coatings Using Portable Adhesion Testers,” Annex A5, “Self-Aligning Adhesion Tester Type V.” Coating thickness measurements were obtained on five (5) spots on each sample using a DeFelsko PosiTector 6000 non-destructive electronic coating thickness gage. The testing surfaces of panels KTA-1 through KTA-3 (1-DA, 2-DA and 6-DA, respectively) were wiped clean and abraded gently using fine sandpaper. The coating was scored to the metal and pull stubs with an abraded test surface of 14 mm diameter were attached to the coating. A two-component epoxy adhesive (Araldite 2011) was used, which was allowed to cure for twenty-four (24) hours at ambient laboratory conditions. The pull stubs were then detached using a DeFelsko PosiTest Automatic Adhesion Tester. The force (in psi) required to remove each pull stub was recorded along with the location of break and approximate percentage of each. The location of break is defined as adhesive (a split between layers), cohesive (within a layer) or glue failure (coating strength exceeds glue strength). Results exhibiting 50% or greater glue failure were not reported in accordance with the method. The average pull-off strength of Durashield 210 is 3460 psi (average of five [5] reported trials). The results of the testing can be found in Table 7, “Results of Dry Tensile Adhesion Testing.”

    Adhesion to Steel (Wet) Wet adhesion to steel was conducted in accordance with ASTM D 870, “Testing Water Resistance of Coatings Using Water Immersion” in congruence with ASTM D 4541, “Pull-Off Strength of Coatings Using Portable Adhesion Testers,” Annex A5, “Self-Aligning Adhesion Tester Type V.” Panels KTA-7 through KTA-12 (13-WA, 14-WA, 17-WA, 19-WA, 22-WA and 23-WA, respectively) were immersed up to ¾ length of the panel in water maintained at 38oC ± 2oC. Panels KTA-7, KTA-8 and KTA-9 were removed on Friday, September 3, 2010, for a total of thirty (30) days immersion and panels KTA-10, KTA-11 and KTA-12 were removed on Tuesday, October 5, 2010, for a total of sixty (60) day immersion. Upon removal from the water, the panels were scored to the metal, a 20 mm diameter pull stub attached, and removed twenty-four (24) hours later. Three (3) pull-stubs were attached above the immersion line and three (3) were attached below the immersion line. The data obtained can be found in Tables 8, 9 and 10, below.

    Impact Resistance

    The impact resistance of the coating material was determined in accordance with ASTM G 14, “Test Method for Impact Resistance of Pipeline Coatings (Falling Weight Test).” Four (4) 16 long pipe sections labeled, Samples 1IR through 4IR were used for this testing. Coating thickness measurements were obtained on five (5) spots on each sample using a DeFelsko PosiTector 6000 non-destructive electronic coating thickness gage. The pipe was secured in the apparatus outlined in the method. The 3.2 pound weight was dropped from various heights and the locations and the impacted areas inspected for crack or holidays in the coating film using a low voltage wet sponge holiday detector. Sample 1IR was used to determine an appropriate range of impact height. Twenty (20) impact locations were observed on the samples and the impact strength calculated by employing height, weight, and frequency of coating failure data. The results of the testing can be found in Table 11, “Results of Impact Resistance Testing.” The impact strength was determined to be 140 inch-pounds. The calculation employed to determine the impact strength is outlined below.

    m = [ho + d(A/N ± ½)] x W Where: m = impact strength (inch-pounds) ho = minimum height at which the less frequent event occurs (inches) d = increment in height of drop (inches) A = sum of the frequency of occurrence at each height increment times the number of increments above the ho value for each observation in the N total N = total number of the less frequent event (coating failures or non-failures) W = tup weight (pounds)

    Note: The (-) sign is used when the mean is based on coating failures; the (+) sign is used when it is based on non-failures

    Tensile Strength

    The tensile strength of the coating material was determined in accordance with ASTM D 412, “Test Methods for Vulcanized Rubber and Thermoplastic Rubbers and Thermoplastic Elastomers-Tension,” Method A. Eight (8) specimens were cut into a dumbbell shape from the free film using Die C. The specimens were pulled with a Tinius Olsen Universal Testing Machine at a rate of 0.2 inches per minute. The tensile strength was calculated using the force required to break the specimens along with the width and thickness of each. The dimensions of the sample were measured using Mitutoyo Digimatic Calipers. The individual results of three (3) replicates are reported along with the average in Table 13, “Results of Tensile Strength Testing.”
