Method For Nondestructive Testing Of Coating Adhesion
US Patent:
4606225, Aug 19, 1986
Filed:
Nov 7, 1984
Appl. No.:
6/669127
Inventors:
William H. Thomason - Ponca City OK
Randall G. Ivie - Ponca City OK
Randall G. Ivie - Ponca City OK
Assignee:
Conoco Inc. - Ponca City OK
International Classification:
G01N 1904
US Classification:
73150A
Abstract:
A method of coating testing comprises applying a consistantly perpendicular minimum tension force to a dolly for testing to see if the adhesive bond strength between a coating and a substrate meets a minimum specification for such bond. The tester comprises a ram passing through an axially centered opening in a dolly bonded to the coating. A piston and cylinder are associated with the ram and the dolly so that pressure within the piston chamber formed thereby causes the development of a tension force within the dolly which is perpendicular to the coating being tested because of the coaxially centered orientation of the dolly with respect to the ram. The pressure is increased only to a point wherein the tension force is equal to a minimum specification for bonding adhesion. If the coating has not separated from the substrate, the bond therebetween meets the specification. The testing apparatus may then be removed by causing the bonding agent attaching the dolly to the coating to fail as by heating.
Corrosion Protection For Mooring And Riser Elements Of A Tension Leg Platform
US Patent:
4619557, Oct 28, 1986
Filed:

Conoco Inc. - Ponca City OK
International Classification:
E02B 1700, C23F 1300
US Classification:
405211
Abstract:
A flame sprayed aluminum coating of high strength steel components offers excellent seawater corrosion protection, increased fatigue life and uniform low level cathodic protection that avoids hydrogen embrittlement. Marine mooring and riser elements fabricated from such components are superior in the above respects to steel components protected from corrosion by common sacrificial anode cathodic protection systems. In addition, the need of welding a stud to the steel to insure electrical continuity between the steel and the sacrificial anodes is eliminated.
Apparatus For Adhesion Testing Of Coatings
US Patent:
4586371, May 6, 1986

International Classification:
G01B 2100, G01N 308
US Classification:
73150A
Abstract:
An apparatus for applying a consistently perpendicular tension force to a dolly is provided for testing of the adhesive bond strength between a coating and a substrate. The tester comprises a ram passing through an axially centered opening in a dolly bonded to the coating. Piston and cylinder means are associated with the ram and the dolly so that pressure within the piston chamber formed thereby causes the development of a tension force within the dolly which is perpendicular to the coating being tested because of its coaxially centered orientation with respect to the ram.
