This multi-author/expert book, Coatings Failures: Analysis and Solutions: Linings, features case studies covering the failure--and fixture--of linings in an assortment of applications. The authors emphasize that the interior linings of tanks and pipes--and even railcars--are just as important as exterior coatings.

The performance of the interior lining correlates with the proper choice and application of the correct coating system.

The methods of investigating the failure include laboratory analyses, studies focused on the environment of the failure, infrared spectroscopy, suggestions on the steps that any investigation needs to consider, etc.
