    PIR or polyurethane insulation application and flame spread characteristic

    I am thinking of using PIR/UR as the default insulation for pipe support. This insulation will find application on cold duty of a onshore terminal. Has anyone encountered any problems in the past/present with this material? Also, I am advice to look up the flame spread index (surface burning...

    Name that corrosion

    looks like galvanic corrosion or some form of preferential corrosion to me.

    Design for the prevention of CUI/CUF on onshore refinery facilities

    Thanks for your input..:) Just one more question. How would noise/vibration affect the integrity of the insulation?I can only assume this would loosen the hold of the insulation to the substrate.

    Design for the prevention of CUI/CUF on onshore refinery facilities

    A robust fabric maintenance programme is neccessary to mitigate corrosion under insulation (CUI) or corrosion under fireproofing of assests. This phase comes after the plant has been fired up. For FEED phase, what are the parameters should I incorporate when designing for the prevent of...

    Importance of Site Experience

    Spot on Walterke...I am indeed looking for a job. Someone asked me once 'Do you have any site experience?'. It is a too general question (bias I think). So I was wondering how would he or she answer this particular question.

    Importance of Site Experience

    I was referring to materials and corrosion engineers. Does site experience means plannning, overhaul etxc etc

    Raw material defect?

    Could it be the weld laps from friction welding that has been left in situ? Mind you, if they aren't removed, they can act as stress concentrator.

    Hardness of 1020 case hardnening

    If you intend to measure the carburized layer, perhaps using a Knoop indenter for microhardness testing(ASTM D1474 standard)would be more useful.

    Career advice - Advancing in Materials and Corrosion Engineering Field

    Thank you for your insight. I am often in the lab conducting test and a solo role plus rarely get out from the office. I am trying to make the transition from lab to field work as I feel I will learn more from field work. Great to hear you had good mentors to have open discussions.

    CO2 and stainless steel compatibility

    Life cycle cost is ultimately the contributory factory that ties in with the inspection/maintenance periodicity. How long did the previous sprayer dryer last before a replacement is needed? I don't know this would help much but it talks about carbon capture plants and carbon dioxide corrosion...

    High Temperature Hydrogen Attack

    I have heard a case where an industrial boiler water wall tubes failed by HTHA but the primarily cause was directly due to on-loading corrosion. This happened during winter and the flow was below its recommended limit.
