How Oxifree TM198 Works
Offshore Petronas Vietna
Testing:
Oxifree meterial has been thoroughly tested to 11,688 hours of"industry standrad" Salt Spray test , which complies with ASTM B117 corrosion testing which is equivalent to in excess of 50 years 'in the field'.
Oxifree has also been through ASTM G56 UV/Weathering test and again exceeded required longevity with ease:
- ASTM B117-Salt spray test-successfully testd to 4x industry benchmark
- ASTM G154 UV-Weathring test successfully exceeded standards
- GOL492/09 Volatile Organic Compound Test (<0.05%)
- Boeing BSS 7329-Successful smoke toxicity test
- ASTM E662-Successful smoke generation test
- ASTM G85-94-Annex A5 prohesion test-successfully approved with 1000hrs testing
- BS EN 13823-Single burnung item test-Complate and passed within standrads
- ASTM D790-Cryogenic bend flexibility
- ASTM D149-Dielectric strength testing
- BS2782 Pt.2-Volumetric resistivity testing(Electrical resistance)
- ASTM D7359-13 Standard Test Method for Total Fluorine, Chlorine and Sulfur in Aromatic Hydrocarbons
- ASTM E968-Sand abrasion resistance

However again due to the complex nature of these applications, void spaces tend to create potential for ingress of air and moisture and trigger a corrosion cell.
to try to alleviate the sharp angles inherent a bolted structure.
Low cost, can be applied without specialist equiment, however application is highly time consuming and messy. contains high levels of VOC, has high disposal costs, limited areas of application due to the ecological impact and is not reusable |

Flange bagsFlange bags are a new innovation for protecting flanges and valves, however they need to be reactivated with VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhitors) within 12 months Bags are susceptible to damage and leakage through the taped end sealing. Birds have been know to peck hokes in the shiny surface and render the bags useless. |

Caps
These are very cheap but often do not fit correctly and even when properly specified caps tend to shrink and create crevices for corrosion cells to form.
As the photo displays some caps are missing and some cannot even be installed creating only a partial protection on the bolt and nut heads and completely leaves the valuable flange asset unprotected.
Clearly this image show that caps provide a very marginal protection.
