Blue-Stained Sealants do Not Imply Catastrophic Corrosion of Copper Piping
NACE CORROSION 2015, March 15-19, 2015, The Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center Dallas, Texas, U.S.A.
…. THE meeting place for YOU to meet the professionals from around the world.
2015 – as we enter our 28th year in business our network of associate experts has continued to grow, which permits us to maintain a realistic, timely and informed response to the wide variety of inquiries we receive on challenges that beset people, property and the infrastructure. Inquiries and work scope span a broad spectrum of material applications; many require testing and corrosion control measures. We are pleased to report a continued growth of work in litigation and insurance matters.
Litigation & Insurance Work – experience and expertise with defense and plaintiff attorneys, insurers and adjusters with a growing number of high-value subrogation cases. Current and recent cases include: building defect matters; HVAC issues; Chinese drywall; potable water plumbing system issues; fuel oil AST/USTs; dezincification of yellow brass plumbing fittings; sprinkler system pressure relief valve failure; refinery and chemical processing (equipment and piping); boiler and reactor tubes; bridge walkway (corrosion wastage); grain elevator explosion; aerosol can rupture; formicary corrosion (copper tubing); surgical instrument fractures; hoist clip failure; crane basket failure; and, tools.
Troubleshooting, Failure Analysis & Materials Testing. Site surveys and audits, material evaluations, root cause determinations; advisory and materials selection for a wide spectrum of matters, including: erosion of poorly installed copper tubing; copper corrosion in PWS; SCC in insulated copper piping; solar energy systems; UST/AST heating oil; formicary corrosion issues (copper piping); dezincification (brass fittings); aluminum coil corrosion control; heater elements; aerosol cans; high-temperature R&D for several applications, including hot molten salts and novel technique for metal production; material testing of enzyme solutions; HVAC system development work; boiler (evaporator and recuperator tube) failures; SCC in stressed stainless steel pipe; accelerated corrosion of aluminum; sealant issues and corrosion; and, materials for sulfurous surroundings.
