This document provides standards for external field joint coatings applied to steel pipelines. It specifies requirements for selecting coatings, applicator obligations, surface preparation, application, inspection, testing, repair and safety. The standards cover petrolatum or polymeric tape coatings, heat-shrinkable coatings, fusion-bonded epoxy powder coatings, and liquid applied coatings. Appendices provide additional guidelines for purchasing, demonstrating compliance, and testing methods.
World Class Manufacturing:Plant Start Up and Commissioning Procedure HIMADRI BANERJI
Essential Ingredient of World Class Manufactring is a procedure for plant start up and commissioning. It is observed that the maximm damage in the life of a plant occurs at start up and the remnant effect of this damage to life an be significant. This presentation 0f 180 slides takes the reader through a step by step procedure which if followed strictly can give a safe and risk free plant start up.
Ever imagined those how cross-country pipelines where built. The stages of the construction of a pipeline can be likened to a moving assembly line. A large project typically is broken into manageable lengths called “work-spreads,” which utilizes highly specialized and qualified teams. Each spread is composed of various crews, each with its own roles. As one crew completes its work, the next crew moves into position to complete its piece of the construction process. This presentation highlights the key stages of onshore pipeline construction.
Process validation is defined as the collection and evaluation of data, from the process design stage throughout production, which establishes scientific evidence that a process is capable of consistently delivering quality products.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed guidelines with the following definition for process validation: – “PROCESS VALIDATION” is establishing documented evidence which provides a high degree of assurance that a specific process consistently produces a product meeting its predetermined specifications and quality attributes.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message

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.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by Standards Australia Committee, ME-038, Petroleum
Pipelines.
The objective of this Standard is to provide manufacturers, suppliers, specifier and users of
oil and gas pipelines the application of and testing requirements for external field joint
coatings (FJCs) of seamless or welded steel pipelines for onshore steel pipelines.
The performance of field joint coatings is a critical part of the corrosion protection of steel
pipelines. This Standard makes no appraisal of the relative performance of the coating
systems that are covered herein. There should be careful selection of the field joint coating
chosen for each application, taking into account its importance in providing satisfactory
corrosion protection for the service life under the construction and operating conditions of
the pipeline.
The terms ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ have been used in this Standard to define the
application of the appendix to which they apply. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral part
of a Standard, whereas an ‘informative’ appendix is only for information and guidance.
Statements expressed in mandatory terms in notes to figures and tables are deemed to be
requirements of this Standard. All other notes are for information and guidance only.
