NACE International, the Corrosion Society, has published several new and revised standard recommended practices and technical reports, all aimed at providing users with the information they need to successfully prevent and control corrosion of pipelines and pipeline systems. Guidelines for managing wax coatings systems, coal tar enamel coating systems, industrial blast cleaning, rehabilitation coatings, and wet abrasive blast cleaning are also listed.

RP0375-99 Wax Coating Systems for Underground Piping Systems

This technical standard provides material requirements, surface preparation recommendations, and application techniques for the successful use of hot- or cold-applied wax and component wrappers and wax tape coating systems for the protection of pipes, fittings, and valves. Lists recommended physical requirements for different types of coating systems and the corresponding ASTM standard test methods. Price: $18 list, $14 NACE member (Item #21013).

RP0399-99 Application, Performance, and Quality Control of Plant-Applied, Coal Tar Enamel External Pipe Coating Systems

This technical standard presents guidelines for establishing minimum requirements to ensure proper performance of coal tar enamel coating systems. Recommended physical property requirements and surface preparation, application, inspection, and repair practices are described. Price: $18 list, $14 NACE member (Item #21089).

1OD199 External, Buried Steel Pipeline Repair and Rehabilitation Coatings

This technical report provides detailed, generic product information on the 14 types of pipeline coatings most often used for repair and rehabilitation projects, and general guidance on coating selection. Information on surface preparation, application methods, and inspection is also included. Price: $18 list, $12 NACE member (Item #24201).

1OB199 HVDC Interference

This report reviews data on the effect of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems on structures such as pipelines, railways, reinforced concrete structures, and telephone, power, and CAT cables. It also contains a compendium of all known HVDC transmission systems and back-to-back converter stations worldwide (both operational and planned). Testing, monitoring, and mitigation strategies are also discussed. Price: $18 list, $12 NACE member (Item #24200).

RP0375-99 Wax Coating Systems for Underground Piping Systems

This technical standard provides material requirements, surface preparation recommendations, and application techniques for the successful use of hot or cold-applied wax and component wrappers and wax tape coating systems for the protection of pipes, fittings, and valves. Lists recommended physical requirements for different types of coating systems and the corresponding ASTM standard test methods. Price: $18 list, $14 NAACO member (Item #21013).

RP0399-99 Application, Performance, and Quality Control of Plant-Applied, Coal Tar Enamel External Pipe Coating Systems

This technical standard presents guidelines for establishing minimum requirements to ensure proper performance of coal tar enamel coating systems. Recommended physical property requirements and surface preparation, application, inspection, and repair practices are described. Price: $18 list, $14 NAACO member (Item #21089).

NACE No.8/SSPC-SP 14 Industrial Blast Cleaning

This joint standard presents requirements for industrial blast cleaning of steel surfaces by the use of abrasives. Defines industrial blast cleaning and includes sections on procedures before blast cleaning, blast cleaning methods and operation, blast cleaning abrasives, procedures following blast cleaning, inspection and safety and environmental requirements. NACE No. 8/SSPC-SP 14 has also been added to the NACE/SSPC Joint Surface Preparation Standards package which includes seven standards. Price: $14 list and NACE member (Item #21088).

1OD199 External, Buried Steel Pipeline Repair and Rehabilitation Coatings

This report provides detailed, generic product information on the 14 types of pipeline coatings most often used for repair and rehabilitation projects, and general guidance on coating selection. Information on surface preparation, application methods, and inspection is also included. Price: $18 list, $12 NACE member (Item #24201).

NACE 6G198/SSPC-TR2 Wet Abrasive Blast Cleaning

This joint report describes the procedures, equipment, and materials used for air/water/abrasive, water/abrasive, and pressurized water/abrasive blasting. Information on inhibitors, equipment maintenance, and safety guidelines is also included. Price: $18 list, $12 NACE member (Item # 24199).

NACE has also recently published two standard recommended practices that define the minimum physical quality and inspection standards for cast sacrificial anodes for offshore applications.

RP0387-99 Metallurgical and Inspection Requirements for Cast Galvanic Anodes for Offshore Applications

Technically revised in 1999, this technical standard defines the minimum physical quality and inspection standards for cast sacrificial anodes for offshore applications. The objectives of the standard are (1) to standardize an industry-wide practice that can be used by consultants, manufacturers, and users to define the physical requirements of anodes and (2) to be specific enough to assist the inspection authority in its task of confirming that anodes comply with the physical requirements. Price: $18 list, $14 NACE member (Item #21036).

RP0492-99 Metallurgical and Inspection Requirements for Offshore Pipeline Bracelet Anodes

This technical standard sets the minimum physical quality and inspection standards for cast sacrificial anodes for offshore pipeline applications. The standard is applicable to typical half-shell or segmented bracelet-type anodes and is not intended to apply to platform, hull, tank, or extruded-type anodes. The section on physical requirements includes information on samples for chemical analysis; anode identification, weight, dimensions, and straightness; insert dimensions and position; insert material; fabrication of inserts by welding; insert surface preparation; surface irregularities on the anode casting; cracks in cast anodic materials; defects and more. Price: $18 list, $14 NACE member (Item #21056).
