This document summarizes the issue of defective drywall imported from China between 2001-2008 that has caused problems for some homes in the southern US. The drywall releases sulfur compounds that can corrode metals and cause health issues. An estimated 75,000 homes may be affected, with reported problems including unpleasant odors and corrosion of copper and other metals. Investigations into the problem are ongoing.

Program for Prevention of CUI at a Refinery
The document outlines a program to minimize occurrences and severity of corrosion under insulation (CUI) at an oil refinery. It identifies 12 common problems that can lead to CUI and recommends solutions. General recommendations include using calcium silicate insulation for temperatures over 350°F, cellular glass below 350°F, and continuing use of aluminum jacketing with a moisture barrier and removable/reusable blankets where needed. Implementing the solutions and recommendations would enhance safety by reducing CUI and extending the life of insulated pipes and equipment at the refinery.

Corrosion under insulation ( CUI)
This document discusses corrosion under insulation (CUI), which occurs in the space between insulating material and metal surfaces in various industries like oil & gas, chemicals, and food processing. CUI is caused by water collecting in this space from sources like rain, leaks, or condensation. It can lead to localized corrosion and wall loss. The document examines major factors that influence CUI like temperature, insulation design, and environmental conditions. It also identifies specific units and areas that are susceptible to CUI, such as pipes near cooling towers or steam vents. The appearance of CUI and methods to prevent it through coatings and insulation practices are described. Inspection and monitoring techniques for CUI are also discussed, including a probe array sensor
FRP vs Steel - A Look At The Benefits of FRP
When comparing fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) products to steel, there are several factors to consider. An overview of the benefits of FRP.
All About Galvanized Steel
In the world of flatroll steel, galvanized remains a top choice for corrosion protection, price, availability, and versatility. Galvanized steel is steel that has been applied with a protective zinc coating, which inhibits oxidation, or rusting and corrosion.
At Pacesetter, we offer a number of galvanized products.
Corrosion in piping
Corrosion is an electrochemical process that naturally degrades metals over time when exposed to substances in the environment. It is one of the main causes of metal destruction and a major factor that can damage gas pipes. The impact of corrosion costs billions globally each year in direct losses from damaged equipment and indirect losses from things like production stoppages. Various types of corrosion can occur in pipes, including uniform, pitting, stress cracking, erosion, galvanic, and crevice corrosion. Cathodic protection and corrosion inhibitors are common methods to prevent or slow corrosion in pipes. Thermodynamics describes how corrosion occurs as metals naturally transition to a lower energy state by recombining with elements in their environment.
Tempered glass and nis

fact, tempered glass is not horrible, and the potential self-explosion of tempered glass has always been the
focus of attention.

The nazi holocaust
The Holocaust was a genocide carried out by Nazi Germany against European Jews between 1933-1945. An estimated 6 million Jews were murdered, along with 5 million others including Roma, Slavs, homosexuals and political opponents. Jews were systematically persecuted through legislation and violence, culminating in extermination camps where most were gassed. While resistance occurred, most victims were unable to escape the well-organized Nazi killing machine before Allied liberation in 1945.

QUB Insulation Issues JAN 2015 a
Poor housing conditions are widespread in Northern Ireland, with many homes having ineffective insulation that causes health issues. Three years of research identified numerous examples of homes with fiber insulation that was improperly installed and allowed dampness, as well as insulation made of urea formaldehyde foam that poses health risks. Surveys of over 200 Housing Executive homes found that 91% had insulation that was unfit for purpose. Extraction and replacement of defective insulation in test homes significantly improved thermal performance and residents' health. Widespread remediation efforts are needed to address the issues caused by historic building practices, unsuitable materials, and lack of regulation.
ACT Clamps 03-2015 English
STAUFF ACT clamps are an innovatively designed solution for installing instrumentation pipework in offshore oil and gas environments where corrosion resistance is critical. The clamps address the issues of crevice and pitting corrosion that often occur under traditional plastic pipe clamps. STAUFF ACT clamps underwent stringent internal testing and independent third party testing, including salt spray tests and field tests on an offshore rig, to validate their ability to prevent crevice corrosion and extend maintenance intervals compared to other solutions. The clamps are constructed of materials compliant with relevant industry standards for offshore use.

LNG Industry Magazine (Risk Mitigation Standards) July 2016
Experience has demonstrated that insulation systems within LNG facilities are often ‘under-designed’ when compared to other mechanical systems. Decades of lessons learned from
under-designing other mechanical systems, such as piping materials, welding, compressors, relief valves, etc., have led to a keen awareness among LNG engineers regarding impacts on safety, plant reliability, process efficiency, energy loss, and
environmental compliance.
The purpose of this article is to offer a macro-level discussion
of the following:The role of standards in mitigating insulation risks. Which standards are becoming dominant for LNG insulation. Where standards must be supplemented with broader risk mitigation.

MilaACS_FINAL_magenta
This study examined the corrosion of welded and non-welded 321 stainless steel samples in environments with different pH levels. Samples were placed in chambers with air, a pH 7 solution, or a pH 5.6 solution for 5 weeks. Welded samples showed greater corrosion than non-welded samples, with the most corrosion occurring in the pH 5.6 solution. By week 3, welded samples in all environments showed corrosion equilibrium while non-welded samples showed minimal corrosion. The results suggest that welded seams concentrate corrosion through oxidation and crevice effects in acidic aqueous conditions.
History of Firestopping
Firestopping originated in the 1960s to contain fire and smoke. It gained widespread use in the 1970s as electrical and silicone manufacturers developed new firestopping products. Standards and codes evolved through the 1980s-2000s as product technology advanced and demand increased. Today, firestopping aims to safely allow building penetrations as defined by UL testing and approved detail systems.

Laminated glass has additional benefits like security, aesthetics, acoustic properties, and energy efficiency.
Basic Mechanisms of Corrosion and Corrosion Control for Water and Wastewater ...
This document discusses corrosion mechanisms and corrosion control for water and wastewater systems. It begins by defining corrosion and describing the 4 components of an electrochemical corrosion cell: the anode, cathode, electrolyte, and metallic path. It then discusses various corrosion mechanisms for water pipes, including internal corrosion in wastewater systems driven by sulfuric acid formation. The document outlines the 4 main methods for corrosion control: material selection, inhibitors, coatings, and cathodic protection. It emphasizes that corrosion control is a long-term process rather than a single project. Condition assessment techniques for various pipe materials are also summarized.
Corrosin Basic
The document discusses corrosion from multiple perspectives. It defines corrosion as the deterioration of metals through chemical or electrochemical reactions with the environment. It notes that understanding chemistry, electrochemistry, and metallurgy is important for understanding corrosion. Corrosion can damage infrastructure and equipment by reducing strength, changing dimensions, and contaminating products. The costs of corrosion are high, with estimates of billions of dollars spent annually to address corrosion in areas like pipelines, structures, and water systems. Proper application of corrosion prevention and control techniques can help reduce these costs.
