New Corrosion Assessment Courses Launched By D. Terry Greenfield, Principal Consultant, CorroMetrics

Inspection during the installation of protective coatings ensures that the

installation is within the design parameters of the engineered and specified coating system. To date, the emphasis of industry is in the form of practices, standards, and training focused on this mission. The NACE International Coating Inspector Program is a successful example of this inspection emphasis.

Recognizing that deficiencies in the original installation and general degradation during the service life occur, further inspections are required to initiate repair efforts, monitor coatings system performance, and maximize the life cycle of the installed coatings. The information provided from in-service inspections, used with sound management practice, is a valuable tool to achieve the intended life-cycle and economic value of the installed coatings system.

NACE International is addressing the training requirements for surveying in-service coatings and external corrosion assessment with two courses for industry:

Offshore Corrosion Assessment Training and Shipboard Corrosion Assessment Training.

Offshore Corrosion Assessment Training (O-CAT)

In 2004, NACE was contracted by the Minerals Management Service (MMS) to develop a training program for its inspectors. The goal of the program was to make the MMS inspector better informed regarding protective coatings, corrosion, and the methods used to control corrosion.

After completion of the MMS training program in 2005, NACE International continued development of the program with offshore industry personnel and MMS staff. During development, the group made sure the program included information necessary for industry to implement an effective protective coatings and external corrosion management program, which addresses the elements of in-service inspection and maintenance planning for fixed offshore structures.

Resulting from the program development is a course that benefits personnel with management and planning responsibilities through field inspectors conducting in-service inspections of the facility. The program is also practical for

NACE International announced in December 2006 the

standardization of its fees and renewal periods for all certification levels.

Beginning in January, the renewal fees for NACE certifications are as follows: $140 for members and $350 for non-members. The annual maintenance fees formerly required on all Cathodic Protection (CP), Internal Corrosion, Specialist, and Generalist certifications will be discontinued, and the renewal

NACE International Standardizes Certification and Renewal Process

period for all NACE certifications will be standardized to a three-year period.

NACE International approved these modifications in an effort to simplify the renewal process for all current and prospective certification holders.

NACE also recently made changes to its widely recognized Coating Inspector Program (CIP). The CIP Level 1 and Level 2 designations have been reclassified from “recognized” to “certified.” Effective immediately, anyone who currently holds

CIP Level 1 or Level 2 recognition, or anyone who completes these courses in the future, will be classified as follows:• NACE Coating Inspector Level 1—

Certified• NACE Coating Inspector Level 2—

CertifiedWith the designation changes for CIP

Levels 1 and 2, the title for successful completion of the CIP Peer Review has

been modified to NACE Certified Coating Inspector—Level 3. The changes to the names of these programs reflects the rigorous training and exam requirements existing at each level of the CIP.

Because of the change from recognition status to certification status, professional development hours have been added to the CIP 1, 2, and 3 renewal requirements.

“The demand for NACE training and certification has grown tremendously over the past two years, especially in the International arena,” said Tony Keane, NACE Executive Director. “This increasing demand enforced the need to standardize our credentialing process.”

Coatings in Conjunction with Cathodic ProtectionBy Ernie Klechka, Senior Project Manager, CC Technologies

In 2006, NACE International released a new course titled “Coatings in

Conjunction with Cathodic Protection.” This newest NACE course deals with an old subject: “Which coatings work best with cathodic protection?”

Often coatings are specified to mitigate corrosion during construction or maintenance of a buried or submerged structure such as a pipeline, underground storage tank, or pier. Cathodic protection (CP) is often applied after construction is complete or many years later. This course brings coatings selection and application together with CP design and installation.

Corrosion is one of the most important problems encountered by the owners and operators of underground, offshore, submerged, and other metallic structures exposed to an electrolyte (water). If corrosion is not controlled, corrosion can lead to large costs for maintenance, repairs, or facility replacement. Even more significant indirect costs can be incurred as a result of environmental damage and cleanup, injuries to personnel, and fatalities. The life of an underground or submerged structure is often controlled

by the rate of corrosion.Pipeline corrosion protection consists

of an adequate protective coating and supplementary CP.

These basic criteria became the foundation for a NACE Standard (RP0169) in 1969, which was adopted in 1971 by the U.S. Department of Pipeline Safety (now the Department of Transportation) as the basis for regulations governing protection of pipelines against corrosion.

Yes, the first line of defense against corrosion for buried or submerged structures is a good coating. Yet, since we all know that no coating can be applied, handled, and installed perfectly, we supplement the coating corrosion protection with CP. This course addresses many of the issues surrounding coating compatibility with CP.

The primary purpose for pipe coating is to separate the pipe’s base metal from its environment (water). However, even today’s most sophisticated coatings do not provide absolute barriers to moisture and electric (corrosion-inducing) current.

It is necessary to prevent the access

of moisture to the pipe surface because moisture is the electrolyte in the corrosion cell. High resistance to electric current is important because maintaining an electric potential constitutes CP, which is the secondary line of defense against corrosion.

In general, when CP is applied to a buried or submerged structure at holidays in the coating, the pH will increase, often to 11 or 12. At the anode the pH can be reduced to 5 or 6. At the cathode, hydrogen or hydroxyl ions are generated; at the anode, chlorine or oxygen can be generated.

With this course, NACE International brings the Coating Inspection Program and CP programs together. Course highlights include reviewing many different types of coatings and reviewing the basic concepts of CP. This course also covers elements of external corrosion direct assessment (ECDA) because of the indirect surveys used to evaluate the coatings on the pipe and the applied CP.

offshore platform operations personnel to better understand corrosion prevention systems utilized for offshore structures and their successful implementation.

With the training requirement addressed, NACE International initiated Task Group TG-340 with the mission of authoring a standard practice for the evaluation of offshore platforms addressing coatings and external corrosion evaluation. The standard is currently under development by the offshore industry task group members.

Shipboard Corrosion Assessment Training (S-CAT)

Building on the successful development of the O-CAT, NACE International was contracted by NAVSEA to develop a program addressing the coatings and external corrosion issues faced by Navy ships and those surveying the ships.

The course provides a foundation of coatings, corrosion, and corrosion control knowledge for assessing the condition of tanks and other ship structures, and determining the required actions necessary for maintaining fully operational status. The course equips the assessor/surveyor with practical guidelines for surveying and evaluating the condition of the protective

“New Corrosion Assessment” Continued from p. 1

coating system on specific areas of marine vessels.

The program’s goal is to ensure that assessors use a consistent, orderly, and repeatable process of evaluation that has the confidence of all involved in the maintenance cycle. The course is intended for presentation to coating inspectors, shipyard planners, design engineers, type commander representatives, and port engineers.

Evaluation of the following shipboard elements are presented in detail, addressing the evaluation issues common and unique to each type:• Tanks and voids• Underwater hull• Topsides• Bilges • Well deck overheads

Platform and Ship Survey Simulations

To experience a simulated survey of offshore platforms and ships in the classroom, students use a unique multimedia simulation. It allows the student to experience the fieldwork associated with in-service inspections in a classroom environment for discussion and consensus of grading evaluation.

This presentation method helps ensure that all the collected data has a common baseline for evaluation, minimizing the subjectivity of individual evaluations and providing better information for planning work and maintaining system integrity.

ConclusionsNACE International has initiated

training programs for inspectors and surveyors responsible for offshore platforms and naval ships. Further standardization of the evaluation criteria and process will eventually lead to consistent interpretation of the corrosion and coatings condition of offshore facilities by industry and government. As standardized metrics for these evaluations evolve, the efforts focused on asset integrity will provide effective protection of these valuable assets in an economically beneficial environment.
