... and the performance of the coating was evaluated using pull-off adhesion strength, cathodic disbondment and Atlas cell wet thermal gradient tests. The strength of correlations among the roughness parameters and the FBE coating performance results were compared. Tortuosity, measured with a stylus profilometer...

...TABLE 4 ISOTHERMAL IMMERSION TESTING ATLAS CELL IMMERSION These simple immersion tests are still valid – however greater understanding of temperature limitations show higher exposure temperatures do not allow for shorter durations. It is important to understand that the lining selected...

...Abstract Pressurized Atlas Cell Testing is commonly understood to be an aggressive accelerated test for lining systems due the combination of pressure, temperature and a thermal gradient across the coating film known as the Cold Wall Effect. This is especially true when Carbon Dioxide...

... focused on performance under immersion conditions and included Soak Adhesion, Cathodic Disbondment, Standard Atlas Cell, Pressurized Atlas Cell, and Autoclave. The different tests were used to examine the effects of temperature, pressure, thermal gradient, cathodic protection, acid gases and different...

Coatings linings coating inspection coatings testing atlas cell INTRODUCTION The use of organic coatings inside oilfield production vessels is extensive, but not without...

...Abstract A special Atlas cell was constructed to simulate actual three phase production fluids pipeline conditions to investigate cold wall effect as a function of dry film thickness, water content, time and ad hoc insulation. The results were used to adopt practical solutions. cold wall effect...
