Introducing 2015-2018 CIP Chair David Allmand

Dave Allmand, a member of NACE International for more than 20 years and a NACE-certified

Coating Inspector Level 3, is the new chair of the NACE Coating Inspector Program (CIP) subcommittee to the Education Activities Committee. He will serve in this capacity for the next three years.

Allmand has more than 40 years of experience in corrosion control and currently is president of MC3 Corrosion Solutions, a company focused on consulting and education for owners, manufacturers, and others in the coatings industry He has owned the business for the last 25 years, specializing in failure analyses, inspection, specification writing, and reviews.

Allmand’s career path began after university, when he worked as a field services engineer for a major oil company. It was

there that he saw first-hand the challenges of corrosion control. His division was charged with limiting corrosion’s negative effects on downhole tubing, pipes, and casings, by use of corrosion inhibitors, as well as the design and implementation of coating and lining systems for storage vessels and even over-the-road transport vessels. This led to the eventual departure from the oil industry to a career path with a large protective coatings manufacturer, serving in a variety of roles—from technical services to sales manager. This put Allmand in a position to work with many of the leading coatings chemists in the marketplace who could formulate a coating for testing, based solely on the client’s needs.

“As a NACE-cer tif ied Coating Inspector, remember your name…remember the

‘family’ you represent.”


the inspection protocol for ballast tanks and other critical internal compartments of a ship became even more laborious.

The following list illustrates many of the potential checkpoints that a marine engineer and/or coating inspector could use to help thoroughly inspect surface prepara-tion and application of coatings during the

process of a new building. The checkpoints are coded as follows:• Checkpoint 1: Steel surface condition:

Check for the initial condition of steel—new, light to moderate rust, pitted steel, soluble salts, and anti-spatter agents along welds. Check for laminations, sharp edges, and dents/burrs. Check for mill scale, rust grade, and type and condition of shop primer. Oil and grease: Check for any residual oil or grease from prior handling of steel.

• Checkpoint 2: Welds: Check for spatters, smoke, slag, and burn-back. Check for irregularities, undercutting, and porosity.

• Checkpoint 3: Working area: Check that sufficient lighting is provided uniformly throughout the surface preparation and painting areas (particularly in tanks and voids). Access: Check whether entry and exit areas are properly identified and scaffolding is properly rigged to allow workers to hold their tools a maximum of 30 cm (1 ft) from the surface being worked on.

• Checkpoint 4: Surface preparation: Check whether the degree of cleanli-ness from surface preparation meets the requirements of the specification. Check for depth/height, shape, and density of the blast profile. Check for residual dust for all operations prior to painting.

• Checkpoint 5: Water-soluble salts: Check whether the amount of water-soluble salts on the surface meets the requirements of the specification or the manufacturer’s recommendations before and after abrasive blasting, before and after each coat is applied.

• Checkpoint 6: Blasting and cleaning equipment: Check whether insufficient capacity or dimensions of blasting equip-ment will result in production delays or insufficient preparation grade. Check for size, type, and placement of oil and water separators to prevent contamination of steel during the blasting process.

• Checkpoint 7: Paint application equip-ment: Check the capacity and condition of all spray equipment. Check the avail-ability of spare parts, tip sizes, and so forth.

• Checkpoint 8: Coatings: Check both the stores and the site quantities to ensure that

Coating Inspection in a Shipyard By Louis D. Vincent

Coating inspection in a shipyard has never been an easy task, primarily because of the multi-

ple activities going on simultaneously in different parts of the shipyard. With the advent of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Performance Standard for Protective Coatings (PSPC) standards,

production time will not be lost waiting for delivery of coatings. Check to ensure that the products in the stores and the application areas are those listed in the specification. Check that the coatings reserved for this job are within the shelf life recommended on the product data sheet for each product involved in this new building. Mark for rejection any that are within one month of shelf life expiration. Curing agents: Check to ensure that the proper combination of bases and curing agents are sufficient and readily available. Check to ensure that low-temperature curing agents are avail-able for use when the ambient temperature falls below 10 °C (50 °F). Thinner: Check to ensure that the thinners recommended for each product in the specification are in stock and readily available. Check to ensure that equipment cleaners are not used as thinners. Check to ensure that cold-weather thinners are available for use when the ambient temperature falls below 10 °C. Check to ensure that the maximum amount of thinners recommended by the manufacturer is not exceeded.

• Checkpoint 9: Application of coatings: Check to see that sufficient quantities of wet film gauges are available and in use by the painters at regular intervals during the painting process to avoid deficient dry film thickness (DFT) once the coating is cured. Coated surface before overcoating: Check to ensure that both the minimum and maximum recoat intervals recommended by the manufacturer are being met. Check for salts, oil spillage, foreign matter, and/or dust. Check for spray dust, exudation, sweating, holidays, and pinholes. Check to ensure that minimum and maximum DFT, as required by the specification, are being met. Environmental condi-tions: Check that the minimum and maximum ambient temperature and steel temperature meet the recom-mendation of the manufacturer. Check that painting is not done when the dew point occurs. Check to ensure that the paint temperature does not fall below the minimum and maximum air temperature recommended for each coating being applied (particularly in

cold weather). Check to ensure that sufficient ventilation is in place and operating properly to avoid solvent entrapment, particularly in tanks.

• Checkpoint 10: Final inspection and acceptance: Check to ensure that all deficiencies have been corrected and that the final appearance, DFT, and condition

of the coating meet the requirements of the specification.

Tank Lining System Shows Coating Failure and Premature Corrosion

Developing Selection Criteria for Field-Applied Pipeline Coatings

T he success of a tank lining project relies on many factors, including internal design to prevent corro-

sion; a well-written specification; lining selection; an experienced contractor; and continuous coatings inspection through-out the project. In CORROSION 2014 paper no. 3763, “Premature Coating Failure

Blisters and corrosion on a tank shell.

A hand wrapster is used to apply mesh-backed tape coating.

of a Tank Lining System,” by J.A. Padilla, L.A. Koloffon, R. Benedith, and L.M. Gomez, the authors describe the corrosion of a 10.2 million L aboveground storage tank (AST) for treated water. The AST did not have an internal cathodic protection system installed.

After seven years in service, the AST showed generalized corrosion on the roof and supporting structures. An inspection showed a heavy buildup of corrosion byproducts and pitting corrosion, with the most severe corro-sion found on the supporting columns, the roof plates, and supporting structures. The roof structure was corroded over ~70% of its surface and many supporting beams were completely corroded. In many cases, the lining system could not be seen. As part of the tank

evaluation, corrosion rates and remaining life calculations of the roof plates were made to prioritize future maintenance activities. A few months later, a powerful earthquake hit the area. The water movement inside the tank exerted tremendous stresses on the roof and supporting structure, causing the partial collapse of the roof, several rafters, and other supporting elements.

To understand the forces acting on the tank at the moment of the earthquake, a computer-aided design (CAD) model was created and finite element analysis was done. This case study describes the tank inspection, reviews the extent of the corrosion damage, and discusses the factors contributing to the corrosion. !

M any types of field-applied coatings have been used on pipelines around the world. Some are no longer

used, while others are being developed to meet the demands of the changing environ-ments where pipelines are installed. Coatings are exposed to conditions such as operat-ing temperatures, soil stress, and backfill. Because environmental conditions exist not just during application, but throughout a coating’s service life, the coating system must be properly selected for the environment. Understanding the properties and all the variables associated with a particular coating system is very important when selecting one that will provide many years of successful

corrosion control for the pipeline. Ultimately, it is up to the end user to make the proper decisions about coating selection, applica-tion, and inspection processes.

A thorough set of specifications gives the guidance needed to ensure proper coating performance. Various testing programs that have been developed provide performance information on the variety of coating types available to the industry. Rigorous inspections by experienced and qualified inspectors will help guarantee proper surface preparation and coating application are performed.

In CORROSION 2015 paper no. 6116, “Developing Selection Criteria for Field Applied Pipeline Coatings,” by R. Norsworthy, D. D’Ambrosio, and M. Quinn, four popular types of field-applied coating systems are discussed: mesh-backed tape systems, shrink sleeves, two-part epoxies, and solid film-backed tape systems. These four generic coating systems are some of the most popular for field application and are very good coating systems when adhered to the pipe surface. Additionally, a compre-hensive table is presented that compares the basic parameters of these generic field-applied coating systems, such as typical in-field use; surface preparation, primer,

and heat requirements; ease of application; etc. The information is a culmination of the authors’ 30-plus years of experience in the pipeline and corrosion control industry, which has involved many coating tests, field exposures, and evaluations. Although the final service life and performance of these coatings will depend on many variables, these charts give information that should be considered or discussed before a system is selected for use. !
