Chemical Engineering March 2014 - 36

Show Preview
C
orrosion 2014, the 69th annual
meeting of the National
Association of Corrosion
Engineers (NACE)
is taking place March 9-13 in San
Antonio, Tex. More than 6,000 attendees
are expected to gather in
the Henry B. Gonzales Convention
Center for lectures, forums, presentations
and an expo hall featuring
over 380 exhibitors. The following
is a preview of some of the products
and services that will be showcased
at the event.
This new duplex alloy prevents
intercrystalline corrosion
The new Ultra-Lean Duplex Centralloy
G 2102 is said to have excellent
corrosion resistance - especially
against intercrystalline corrosion -
yet is much less expensive than conventional
duplex materials, according
to the manufacturer. The alloy's
considerably lower nickel content
makes it less susceptible to highly
fluctuating raw material prices, the
company adds. The material can
be welded using conventional consumables.
The alloy is suitable for
use in various areas with the most
demanding requirements for wear
and corrosion, such as for components
in separators (decanters and
centrifuges) used in the wastewater-treatment
industry, as well as
for pumps and process equipment
in the food industry. Booth 2630 -

Use these materials in tubing for
hydraulics and instrumentation
The corrosion-resistant material
grades for piping (photo) from this
company are intended for use in
harsh conditions, such as those
experienced by tubing used in
hydraulic, instrumentation and
heat-exchanger applications. SAF
2507 material is an alternative to
316L stainless steel. This superduplex
stainless steel has a high
resistance to pitting and crevice
corrosion, as well as to stress
corrosion cracking in chloridebearing
environments. 3R60
Urea Grade is a high-purity
variant of 316L stainless steel,
with a low ferrite content for
greater resistance to intergranular,
pitting and crevice corrosion.
Sanicro 41 is a nickel alloy, intended
for use in acidic media. Booth 1339

A non-destructive method to
analyze and identify alloys
New positive materials-identification
tools from this company
use X-ray fluorescence inspection
technology for the identification
and analysis of various metal alloys
by their chemical composition
through non-destructive methods.
The analyzer tools are environmentally
sealed for use in dusty, dirty
or wet conditions commonly found
in field applications. Advanced batteries
support up to 10 hours of
continuous use on a single charge.
A library storing data for over
400 alloys allows for use in a wide
range of industrial applications.

Control, Boston, Mass.

This system uses wireless
technology to sense metal loss
This company's non-intrusive corrosion-monitoring
systems use unique
sensor technology and wireless communication
to continuously monitor
for metal loss from corrosion or
erosion. The permanently installed
systems can operate in extreme
temperature environments and inaccessible
locations, making them
ideal for large-scale deployment in
many upstream and downstream
applications. Corrosion-monitoring
solutions enable risk-based deci36

extend run lengths and allow
for safe processing of low-quality
feeds. Booth 1504 - Permasense

A coating that protects against
very strong acids
SewerGard Industrial No. 210GN
coating is used to protect concrete
or steel from chemical attack in industrial
wastewater applications.
Featuring high resistance to strong
acids - even sulfuric acid concentrations
as high as 98% - this coating
is specifically formulated as a sealer
in strongly oxidizing environments.
SewerGard Industrial No. 210GN
can be applied by either spray or
roller. Booth 2528 - Sauereisen,
Pittsburgh, Pa.

Detect corrosion in vessels and
pipes, even under insulation
The GridStation 8200 is a corrosionimaging
system, which in customer
trials, has successfully detected corrosion
in piping and vessels through
jacketed insulation and fireproofing
materials. The system applies a lowfrequency
magnetic-field methodology
for realtime imaging of both internal
and external corrosion, with
defect sizing and automated reporting
capabilities. In addition to corrosion
imaging, the GridStation
8200 enables stress-corrosion crack
mapping and crack-depth measurement.
