Silicate paints are inorganic zinc-rich paints that have high content of zinc present in them and are non-flammable. The silicate present in these paints acts as a mineral binding agent, imparting these paints with a strong long-lasting bond with the substrate material. Such paints are considered… View Full Term

A look at digital radiography for corrosion inspection of pipelines, including how it works, where it's used and the advantages compared to...
Calculating and measuring tensile stresses are vital in predicting the behavior of various types of materials. Designers and engineers frequently use tensile parameters to select materials that meet specific the strength and performance parameters.
Benefits of ice pigging include reduced water use, shorter disruptions, less downtime, lower probability of pipe damage, and minimal environmental impact compared to conventional pigs and other pipeline cleaning methods.
Understanding the 3 types of tensile strengths help determine how components will perform when...
Ultrasonic technology uses sound waves to detect cracks and other pipeline defects. The early identification of these cracks is essential to preventing leaks, which can lead to product loss and in the oil and gas industry, and potential explosions.

In light of basic adhesion science, today’s surface profile measurement methods, standards and specifications have unique limitations in determining whether a proper surface profile has been achieved prior to coating.
In this quiz, we will test your knowledge of underwater inspections...
One of the major challenges faced by maintenance engineers across many industries is the limited amount of time in which urgent repairs must be carried out. In the real world, when a rapid repair is required, ideal surface...
