SSPC-SP 10/NACE No 2-2024

Near-White Metal Blast Cleaning

This standard defines the process for preparing a carbon steel surface to the Near-White Metal degree of surface cleanliness using a dry abrasive blast method of cleaning. This standard is intended for use by coating or lining specifiers, applicators, inspectors, or others whose responsibility is to specify, prepare, or inspect carbon steel surfaces to the degree of surface cleanliness required by this standard. The requirements include the end condition of the surface as determined by visual inspection and the materials and procedures used to achieve and verify the end condition. Appendix A (nonmandatory) provides additional supplementary information. Paragraph A1 provides an example of language that may be used in a project specification where SSPC-SP 10/NACE No. 2 is specified.

NACE TM0177-2024

Laboratory Testing of Metals for Resistance to Sulfide Stress Cracking and Stress Corrosion Cracking in H2S Environments

The primary purpose of this standard is to facilitate conformity in testing so that data from different sources can be compared on a common basis. Consequently, this standard aids the evaluation and selection of all types of metals and alloys, regardless of their form or application, for service in H2S-containing environments. This standard contains methods for testing metals using uniaxial tensile, three-point bent beam, C-ring, and double-cantilever-beam (DCB) test specimens. A separate standard, NACE TM0316,3 contains a method for testing metals using four-point bend test specimens. ERRATA INCLUDED.

NACE SP0188-2024

Discontinuity (Holiday) Testing of New Protective Coatings on Conductive Substrates

This standard provides procedures for high and low-voltage holiday detection of new, non-conductive coatings or lin- ings applied to conductive (typically metal) substrates.

NACE Standard SP0286-2007

Electrical Isolation of Cathodically Protected Pipelines

This standard explains the importance of pipeline electrical isolation in achieving and maintaining adequate, reliable, and economical corrosion control. The standard outlines the types of devices used for isolation; precautions to be observed; and selection of devices based on pipeline characteristics, site, and contents. The standard describes isolating flanges, gaskets, sleeves, washers, joints, unions, couplings, and spools, and discusses materials for pipeline casing isolation. Installation, field testing, and maintenance of isolating devices are also included. This standard is maintained by Task Group 539.

ANSI/NACE TM0284-2016

Evaluation of Pipeline and Pressure Vessel Steels for Resistance to Hydrogen-Induced Cracking

This standard establishes a test method for evaluating the resistance of pipeline and pressure vessel steels to HIC caused by hydrogen absorption from aqueous sulfide corrosion.

NACE No. 3/SSPC-SP 6

Commercial Blast Cleaning. Reaffirmed in 2006.

This joint standard covers the use of blast cleaning abrasives to achieve a defined degree of cleaning of steel surfaces prior to the application of a protective coating or lining system. The focus of this standard is commercial blast cleaning, which removes all visible oil, grease, dust, dirt, mill scale, rust, coating, oxides, corrosion products, and other foreign matter, leaving staining or shadows on no more than 33% of each unit area of surface. The requirements presented include the end condition of the surface and materials and procedures necessary to achieve and verify the end condition. This standard is maintained jointly by the SSPC and NACE Task Group 006.

NACE SP0287-2024

Measurement of Surface Profile of Metal Surfaces Using a Replica Tape

This standard provides procedures for measurement of the surface profile height of a part prepared by abrasive blast cleaning or another method, using replica tape.

NACE No. 5/SSPC-SP12

Surface Preparation and Cleaning of Steel and Other Hard Materials by High- and Ultrahigh-Pressure Water Jetting Prior to Recoating (RP0595-95)-Item No. 21076

NONE

NACE SP0274-2011

High-Voltage Electrical Inspection of Pipeline Coatings

This standard practice involves testing all pipeline coatings, including coatings on in-service pipelines and new or replacement coatings. High-voltage electrical inspection of pipelines coatings is one commonly used method in the detection of defects. Presented in this standards are acknowledged techniques for the use of holiday detectors currently used on pipeline coatings. A table of minimum testing voltages for various coating thicknesses is provided, as well as guidance for testing voltages, grounding, condition of coating surfaces, and care of equipment.

NACE SP0472-2020

Methods and Controls to Prevent In-Service Environmental Cracking of Carbon Steel Weldments in Corrosive Petroleum Refining Environments

This standard establishes guidelines to prevent most forms of environmental cracking of weldments in carbon steel refinery equipment, including pressure vessels, heat exchangers, piping, valve bodies, and pump and compressor cases. Weldments are defined to include the weld deposit, base metal HAZ, and adjacent base metal zones subject to residual stresses from welding. It defines standard practices for producing weldments in P-No. 1 steels resistant to environmental cracking in corrosive petroleum refining environments.
