This technical video on film thickness and reception criteria explains the importance of achieving the correct thicknesses and presents the different levels of reception.

This talk examines Argentina’s 128-year-old Luján de Cuyo iron bridge, revealing insights into 19th-century wrought-iron metallurgy, manufacturing anisotropy, mechanical behavior, and vibration monitoring that inform heritage conservation and the long-term structural performance of historic metallic infrastructure.

Proper paint application is crucial to the performance and durability of an anti-corrosion paint protection system. Manual application, particularly with a roller or brush, is often used for hard-to-reach areas, touch-ups, or small surfaces. This video demonstrates best practices for manual application that meet the paint system's requirements.

A talk on the thickness of the paint film as a key element of corrosion protection. It shows that it is essential to measure and monitor each coat of paint in a corrosion protection system, both during and after application. This video demonstrates different methods for measuring wet and dry film thickness.

The mechanized application of anti-corrosion paint is crucial to the quality and uniformity of the protective coating. The right equipment enables faster, more consistent, and more controlled application, especially on large surfaces. This video outlines the main mechanized application techniques and best practices to ensure optimal protection.

This seminar presents Xylem's ORCA program, an outcome-based approach to odor and corrosion control for utilities that offers guaranteed performance, budget certainty, continuous optimization, and fewer chemical deliveries. Through real-world case studies, participants will explore data-driven strategies to improve operational reliability, sustainability, and long-term system performance.

Before applying the main coat, certain areas require special attention (e.g., edges, bolts, welds). This step is essential to ensure optimal protection of these sensitive points.

The talk explores the development of a recognized professional pathway for corrosion practitioners in South Africa. Petra Mitchell (CorrISA) discusses Occupational Skills Programs under the National Skills Development Strategy, efforts to establish an Engineering Council of South Africa Specified Category for Corrosion Control, and how structured training supports competence, registration, and long-term industry recognition.

Discover how to understand its key role in ensuring good adhesion of anti-corrosion paint to a substrate.

A speech dedicated to surface preparation for carbon steel and other ferrous metals, covering the essentials of this critical step in the context of anti-corrosion painting work.
