  2. Cured-in-place pipe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cured-in-place_pipe

    The process of CIPP involves inserting and running a felt lining into a preexisting pipe that is the subject of repair. Resin within the liner is then exposed to a curing element to harden it and make it attach to the inner walls of the pipe. Once fully cured, the lining now acts as a new pipeline.

  3. Fusion bonded epoxy coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_bonded_epoxy_coating

    The second most important part of FBE coatings is the curing agent or hardener. Curing agents react either with the epoxy ring or with the hydroxyl groups, along the epoxy molecular chain. Various types of curing agents, used in FBE manufacture, include dicyandiamide, aromatic amines, aliphatic diamines and organic acid anhydrides. [6]

  4. Corrosion in ballast tanks - Wikipedia

    Temperatures in this area are much lower due to the cooling of the sea. If this extremely cathodic region is placed close to an anodic source (e.g. a corroding ballast pipe), cathodic blistering may occur especially where the epoxy coating is relatively new. Mud retained in ballast water can lead to microbial corrosion. [4]

  5. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

    Weight may cause ceilings to sag if the material is very heavy. Professional installers know how to avoid this, and typical sheet rock is fine when dense-packed. Will settle over time, losing some of its effectiveness. Unscrupulous contractors may "fluff" insulation using fewer bags than optimal for a desired R-value.

  6. Sodium silicate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_silicate

    This repair can last two years or longer, and symptoms disappear instantly. However, this repair works only when the sodium silicate reaches its "conversion" temperature. Also, sodium silicate (glass particulate) contamination of lubricants is detrimental to their function, and contamination of engine oil is a serious possibility in situations ...

  7. Radiator reflector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator_reflector

    In his 3m cubed test room with a 1 x 0.5 m radiator and walls of average U value 0.44 W/m 2 K, he found that for a radiator temperature of 43 °C the heat flux through the wall behind the radiator reduced from 7.1 to 3.1 W/m 2. Note that the average heat loss in the room was not reduced by such a large percentage as only part of the surface of ...

  8. Epoxy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoxy

    Epoxy is the family of basic components or cured end products of epoxy resins. Epoxy resins, also known as polyepoxides, are a class of reactive prepolymers and polymers which contain epoxide groups. The epoxide functional group is also collectively called epoxy. [1] The IUPAC name for an epoxide group is an oxirane.

  9. Fuel tank - Wikipedia

    The heads of the rivets are frequently brazed or soldered to prevent tank leaks. Ends can then be hemmed in and soldered, or flanged and brazed (and/or sealed with an epoxy-type sealant) or the ends can be flanged and then welded. Once the soldering, brazing or welding is complete, the fuel tank is leak-tested. [1]
