category
Most facility managers, engineers, maintenance and construction personnel now know that corrosion under insulation
(CUI) exists and left to its own devices, can cause serious problems and even catastrophic consequences.
It is also widely known that the results of CUI are costly. How costly? That is harder to define. Most studies on the topic
involve all forms of corrosion and their associated costs without providing the individual cost of corrosion related to
insulation.
What is clear, however, is that the cost of corrosion in the World continues to increase. A study completed in 2011 by a
research team of corrosion specialists enlisted by Congress titled, "Corrosion Costs and Preventative Strategies in the
World" reported the direct cost of corrosion to be $276 billion per year, with that number potentially doubling when indirect
costs are also considered.
Additional factors encourage CUI: the environment, insulation design and specifications, installation craftsmanship and
maintenance. Let's examine what can be done to reduce the risks.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

2. BakerRisk
10 Steps to Blast Certification:
Protecting People and Property
Door and window assemblies can be designed and cost effectively constructed to
protect people and property from the effects of explosion-induced forces, either of
accidental or intentional origin. Intertek has become the first independent certification
agency to offer a Certification Program for these products for blast resistance. By
relying on this Certification Program, users of these products can be confident that they
will perform to the required minimum damage performance criteria under specified blast
conditions defined by peak pressure and impulse.
Several diverse industries and government based markets are driving the need for this
type of testing and certification. The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA),
Department of Defense (DoD), and Department of State (DoS) have issued blast load
and damage requirements for window assemblies installed in government buildings.
Petrochemical plant owners and insurers are interested in the blast resistance of door
assemblies, as are marine facilities (ships, off-shore oil platforms, etc).
BakerRisk will supply the blast testing necessary for the development of a performance
rating for window and door assemblies. Intertek will perform the certification services and
follow-up inspections required by its normal certification programs. Baker Risk can also
supply product development services to meet adequate blast resistances, if requested.
www.intertek-etlsemko.com
3. BakerRisk
10 Steps to Blast Certification
From factory audit preparation to testing and certification the following simple steps will
help you to understand and speed the testing and certification process.
1. Applicant submits request for evaluation and certification to Intertek including:
a. Product type and model designation(s)
b. Product sizes to be evaluated
c. Desired performance level in terms of peak pressure, impulse, damage level
and fire resistance as applicable.
d. Note: All blast resistant products are evaluated and tested as complete
assemblies including frame, infill, fasteners, hardware and anchorage.
Substitutions of un-tested components may be allowed on the basis of
engineering evaluations performed by BakerRisk engineers and approved by
Intertek.
2. Applicant information will be forwarded to BakerRisk for review. Applicant may
contract directly with BakerRisk for preliminary engineering analysis and consultation
(recommended).
3. BakerRisk will develop an engineering analysis and test plan for that if successfully
completed will provide basis for product certification and listing. Fees for these
services are subject to contract between applicant and BakerRisk.
4. Once completed, the engineering analysis, product design documentation and test
plan are submitted to Intertek for review and approval.
5. Intertek will issue a proposal to the applicant including:
a. Witnessing of test specimens, witnessing of tests performed by BakerRisk,
conducting of post-blast test fire resistance test(s) if applicable, preparation of
a listing report and directory listing.
6. Intertek will visit the manufacturing facility and witness production of test specimens
and verify conformance with the design and construction details. Samples will be
marked with the Intertek representative’s signature and date.
www.intertek-etlsemko.com
4. BakerRisk
7. Applicant ships test specimens to the BakerRisk test facility.
8. Tests will be scheduled and an Intertek representative will witness the tests.
9. If the evaluation is to include a post-blast fire resistance test, the assembly will be
removed from the BakerRisk test site and submitted to Intertek for fire testing.
10. If the testing portion of the project is successful, the following will occur:
a. Applicant will be required to sign a certification agreement
b. Intertek will issue an Authorization to Mark
c. Intertek will place the product in our WHI Listed Product Directory
d. Intertek will begin a program of routine in-plant audits of the certified product
which will continue for the life of the listing
www.intertek-etlsemko.com

Program Criteria and Standards
• Doors: ASTM F 2247-03 “Standard Test Method for Metal Doors Used in Blast
Resistant Applications” classifies the damage as: Category I, fully operable with no
permanent deformation; Category II, operable, but measurable, permanent
deformation; Category III, non-catastrophic failure and door remains a barrier to blast
wave propagation; and, Category IV, the door panel is severely deformed but has not
been forced through the door frame opening.
• Windows: ASTM F 1642-04 Standard Test Method for Glazing and Glazing Systems
Subject to Airblast Loadings classifies the damage to window assemblies as: No
Break, No Hazard, Minimal Hazard, Very Low Hazard, Low Hazard and High
Hazard.
Note: Other standards or specifications may be added to this program as they become
available.
www.intertek-etlsemko.com
6. BakerRisk
Listing Information
The important parameters related to the blast resistance of a door or window include a
measure of the blast force for which it is certified and a description of the maximum
damage that can be expected. The blast force is reported as two values:
• The peak pressure experienced during the test (expressed in pounds per square
inch, psi);
• and impulse, or the area under the pressure-time curve (expressed in psi-
milliseconds). The level of damage, as discussed earlier, might be Level I (no
damage). Consequently, a door assembly might be certified as: Blast Resistant to
4.0 psi, 30 psi-ms / Damage Level I.
A refinement on the blast resistant certification program, consists of developing a graph
of Pressure versus Impulse combinations that result in a specific level of damage. This
normally can be done using a combination of a computer modeling and several tests at
different blast intensities to verify or validate the product’s blast capacity. The end result
is a graph which allows the user to select a pressure and impulse level and determine if
this door assembly will survive without exceeding the maximum allowable level of
damage. This entire graph will then become part of the certification for this product, and
will be published in the WHI Listed Product Directory.
www.intertek-etlsemko.com
7. BakerRisk
Listing Options
Products subject to this program can be certified to a single blast load criteria (Peak
Load and Impulse, Damage Level), multiple blast load/damage level combinations or by
development of a blast level - damage response family of curves. In all cases physical
tests sufficient to validate engineering analysis and computer modeling is required.
In addition doors and windows subject to the program may be certified for fire resistance
either without of after blast exposure. Products listed for fire resistance without blast
exposure are qualified through Intertek’s normal fire resistance certification and test
procedures. In this case the Blast resistance listing will include the statement:
• “Door (or window) also fire rated per <standards>, see Intertek-Warnock Hersey fire
resistance directory.”
For windows or doors that are successfully tested for fire resistance after the blast
exposure test, the listing will include the statement:
• “Door (or window) Post-Blast Fire tested per <standards> for <3/4, 1, 1.5, 2 or 3
hours>”.
