G E N E R A L C O AT I N G SOf the technologies used to control corrosion, protective coatings is one of the most significant. They are used to provide protection for most materials and surface types in most environments. Approximately 90% of all expenditures as-sociated with corrosion control are related to protective coatings. A properly selected and applied coating system can increase the usable lifetime of a ma-terial while reducing replacement and maintenance costs.

NACE International provides the means of technical proficiency for the coatings in-dustry through training courses specifically developed for coatings and linings ap-plication. Courses are tailored for individuals of all levels of experience—from the beginner to those looking to expand their roles into management or achieve NACE certification. The NACE Protective Coating Specialist (PCS) Training Program is one of the specialized training programs geared towards individuals with various levels of coating experience, from applicators and contractors to engineers and project owners. The courses can be taken in succession; however individuals with more experience can choose which course(s) would benefit them most in their career.

Pipeline Industry ProgramsAs our pipeline infrastructure continues to age, it demands constant monitoring and maintenance. Add to that the changing regulatory requirements, it is now more important than ever that operators are aware of how corrosion and other defects can impact the integrity of the pipeline. Significant cost savings can be realized by implementing available corrosion prevention and mitigation technologies as a component of an existing integ-rity management plan. The NACE Internal Corrosion and Cathodic Protection Programs offer the pipeline industry the technical knowledge and skills to en-sure safe operation of our pipelines without failures that may jeopardize public safety, result in product loss, or cause property and environmental damage. In addition to those programs, NACE recently launched three new courses as part of its Pipeline Corrosion Integrity Management Program (PCIM). Pipeline Corrosion Assessment Field Techniques (P–CAFT), Direct Assessment (DA), and In-Line Inspection (ILI) recently joined the existing PCIM Management course to complete the program. These courses may be taken as stand-alone training for continued professional development or as part of the path toward the Pipeline Corrosion Integrity Management certification. The PCIM program offers two certification tracks. The PCIM Technician certifi-cation focuses on remediation technology and field techniques for carrying out integrity assessments. The PCIM Technologist certification will focus on the implementation and management of an integrity program for a pipeline system.

I.C.I. Online—Intro to Coating InspectionCourse DescriptionThis online, self-paced course consists of eight, 30-minute modules that introduce the fundamentals of coatings as well as the purpose and role of a coating inspector on a coatings project. Students may either choose to complete the modules in sequential order or those with more experience or with spe-cific interests may select the modules that would most benefit them in their career. Students will earn a certificate of comple-tion upon successful achievement of the online quiz given at the end of each module.

Visit www.nace.org/cionline for more information and to register for this course.

Who Should AttendThe course is geared for the beginner who is new to the protec-tive coating and coating inspection industry.

PrerequisitesNo prior training or experience is required.

Module Highlights

1 - Role of the InspectorWhat does an inspector do and what value do they bring to a coatings project? This module will provide answers to that question by looking at the roles and responsibilities of a coat-ings inspector

2 - Test InstrumentationTesting plays a vital role to ensure that coatings are installed as specified. This module will describe some of the basic instru-ments used to monitor environmental conditions, evaluate the level of surface preparation and measure the thickness of the installed coating film.

3 - Coating SpecificationThe Coating Specification provides the “roadmap” for instal-lation of the coating. Some basic information needs to be in-cluded in the specification to make sure that the coatings in-spector has the tools to ensure that the coatings are installed as specified.

4 - Coating FundamentalsIt’s important to understand the basic fundamentals of coatings material to appreciate the inspector’s role in their application. This module will explore the components of a typical coating as well as the methods that coatings cure.

5 - Surface Preparation and StandardsThe inspector performs critical testing during this phase to en-sure the coatings to be installed have the best chance to reach their designed life-cycle. This module will explore the various methods of surface preparation and some of the critical as-pects required for a successful coating project.

6 - Application ProceduresCoatings may be applied using equipment ranging from a brush and roller, conventional airspray, and airless spray to sophisti-cated plural component systems. This module will describe the various processes and equipment for coatings application.

7 - Coating DefectsUnfortunately defects may occur when the specification is not followed or other problems occurred during the coatings instal-lation. This module describes some of those defects and how to identify them.

8 - Pre-Job Conference The purpose of the Pre-Job Conference is to take a proactive approach to the coatings project. The Pre-Job Conference is an opportunity for all parties to ensure complete understand-ing of the project requirements by addressing any vagueness or ambiguities before the project starts. This module will explore a Pre-Job Conference and it’s project benefits.
