IPEIA's Special Sessions Webinar: “A Coating Primer for Pressure Equipment Integrity Personnel” is happening on November 21st!
Pressure equipment coatings can ward off corrosion, give pressure equipment a longer service life, and assist in preventing failures. In other words, they are an excellent tool for personnel managing pressure equipment integrity. However, to use coatings advantageously, they must be chosen, applied, inspected, and maintained properly. IPEIA is offering this coating webinar to introduce some fundamental coating topics.

Henry Pedraza from Charter Coating will present, "Enhancing Pressure Equipment Longevity: The Crucial Role of Protective Coatings and Rigorous Testing".
Pressure equipment, designed to withstand high stresses, relies significantly on the strategic application of protective coatings to extend its operational life. External coatings not only defend against atmospheric corrosion but also shield against mechanical damage. While internal protective coatings establish an effective barrier between the bare metallic substrate and the pressurized fluid within, ensuring corrosion resistance. In addition, these internal coatings are currently being considered as a robust defense against the diffusion of monoatomic hydrogen during hydrogen transportation or storage.
In order to simulate real-world scenarios, specialized testing environments such as autoclaves and pressurized atlas cells are employed. These controlled settings meticulously replicate the conditions encountered in field operations, subjecting coatings to high pressures and corrosive agents. Through such simulations, the performance of the coatings is rigorously assessed, illuminating phenomena such as the cold-wall effect. This underscores the proficiency of the coating in safeguarding equipment even in the most challenging circumstances. In essence, the implementation of protective coatings assumes a key role in fortifying pressure equipment, offering a dual shield against both corrosion and mechanical stress.
