WHY FINGERPRINT COATINGS?

Why do we need to FINGERPRINT coatings when anti-corrosion paint failures have never caused structural collapse or direct

loss of primary containment?

Should the industry allow non-conforming paints to be supplied just because the price of non-conformance is not a direct

cause of leak or structural failure?

Malaysia Leads Coating Fingerprint Initiative First in the World!

Forum on “Towards Fingerprinting of Polymeric Coatings” IV

Reported by: Ir. Max Ong Chong Hup and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Melissa Chan Chin Han, Chief Editors of Materials Mind

Sponsored by :

Date : 29th October 2015

Time : 9.00 am – 2.00 pm

Venue : Dewan Tunku, Kelab Golf Negara Subang,

Petaling Jaya

Jointly organized by:

1. IMM Polymer Committee 2. IMM Materials & Asset Integrity Committee 3. IMM Task Force on Coatings Fingerprinting

IMM continues its progress report with the Forum

on “Towards Fingerprinting of Polymeric Coatings"

IV on 29th October 2015 at Kelab Golf Negara Subang,

Selangor. This event was officiated by the Deputy

President of IMM, En. Mohd Azmi Mohd. Noor, Head

of PETRONAS Asset Integrity, Upstream HSE. This

important event was made possible with the

sponsorships and strong support from 3 companies,

Anton Paar Malaysia Sdn Bhd, Bruker (M) Sdn Bhd and

Hempel Paints (M) Sdn Bhd. The forum was well

attended by participants from coating manufacturers,

fabricators/contractors/sub-contractors, external auditors,

end-users, testing laboratories and universities as

depicted in Table 1.

Much debate has been ongoing about the

percentage contribution towards coatings failures in the

oil & gas and heavy industries by (i) surface

preparation, (ii) paint application, (iii) paint materials,

(iv) quality control inspection and (v) painting contract

management. Many reports and papers presented at

conferences and magazines have targeted the blasters

and painters as the prime contributors with some

pointing to poor quality of Certified Painting Inspectors

who did not inspect the blasting and painting works

correctly. Some also pointed to the contract execution at

painting sites where construction managers place little

emphasis to painting quality and often squeeze the

project schedules for the painting scopes thereby

causing paint defects to occur. No report has ever

identified the paint materials as defective or inferior

quality.

Paint Quality Control (QC) Inspectors certified by

NACE (USA), Society for Protective Coatings (SSPC)

Treatment (FROSIO) (Norway) have been providing the

QC inspection of painting projects in Malaysia since

1970’s. PETRONAS initiated the IMM Coating

Inspector Certification Scheme in Malaysia in 1990 to

upskill local Malaysians to participate in this industry.

Institute of Corrosion (ICorr) (UK) and TWI-the British

Gas Approved Scheme (BGAS) (UK) initiated their

Coating Inspector Certification Scheme in Malaysia

from 2005. Since 1980’s, blasters and painters

worldwide have to undergo training and certification to

improve the quality of surface preparation and paint

application. In Malaysia, this was initiated by

PETRONAS with IMM in 2000. Yet despite all these,

the painting works continued to face many failures

during service. Whilst the construction site managers

acknowledge some blame for rushing delayed projects,

there had been speculation that the paint materials could

contribute to the problem and there had been no quality

control mechanism to check the quality and consistency

of paint supplied to-date. Metals manufactured and

supplied have to be accompanied by a “Mill

Certificate“. How come, polymeric paints do not

provide a similar mill certificate?

Puan Nurul Asni Mohamed from PETRONAS

Group Technical Solutions (GTS) Department (who is

also the Chairperson of the IMM Task Force for

Coatings Fingerprinting) highlighted that the Coatings

Fingerprinting Task Force has successfully completed

Phase 1 of its tasks, i.e. establishing a draft Coating

Fingerprint Certificate with relevant QC parameters to

be measured. She informed that Phase 2 of the program

will commence soon with sample collection of both raw

materials and finished products of epoxy coatings to

check the consistency of Fourier-transform infrared

(FTIR) evaluation results using different brands of FTIR

equipment followed by polyurethane coatings, zinc-rich

coatings and other coatings used in the industry. Coating

Fingerprint Certification requirement will be included in

PETRONAS Technical Standards (PTS) 15.20.03

(replacing previous PTS 30.48.00.31), which is waiting

official approval issuance at the moment.

The work by this Task Force has demonstrated a

successful Industry-Academia collaboration where

Industry Players were unaware of the capabilities of the

FTIR technique to develop “Fingerprint” of polymeric

materials such as Paints. Although “Fingerprinting” had

been specified by many industry players in their

Painting Specifications, no one knew exactly what

“Fingerprinting” meant. En. Muhd Hawari Hassan, also

from PETRONAS GTS Department, presented the new

Paint Qualification Specifications from PETRONAS with

more stringent quality requirements including the

Fingerprinting Requirement. With clearer understanding

of the FTIR techniques and interpretation of the test

results, Oil & Gas and Heavy Engineering industries will

be able to clearly specify the Coating Fingerprint

requirements in due course.

Ms. Renee Teo Yong Yin from Bruker (M) Sdn

Bhd presented the comparison results of FTIR tests on

various epoxy coating samples to check their consistency

and reproducibility. Consistency and reproducibility were

more than 0.95 and this gave confidence to the Task

Force members on the reliability of FTIR analysis for

paint quality assurance. Mr. Nigel Foong Jee Lip from

Anton Paar Malaysia Sdn Bhd presented new

technologies for rheological tests methods for paint

quality testing to complete the Fingerprinting

requirements. Note that Coating Fingerprinting comprises

not only the FTIR for structural analysis but all other

physical tests such as viscosity, density, color code, non-

volatile matter (by mass), mass of Zn metal/Total Zn etc.

Finally, Dr. Hassan Malik from Bureau Veritas

Malaysia highlighted the importance of Coating

Fingerprinting data entry into the Risk Based Inspection

(RBI) database for validation that paint materials

supplied to a project meets the project specifications and

standards. Such data should be validated, encrypted and

accessible in the RBI database during performance

review and/or failure analysis.

Associate Professor Dr. Melissa Chan Chin Han

from Universiti Teknologi MARA (who is also the

Chairman of the IMM Polymer Committee and Advisor

to the IMM Task Force on Coatings Fingerprinting)

highlighted that IMM has initiated training and

certification programs in Coating Fingerprinting to

educate the industry players as well as ensure qualified

and trained Coating Fingerprinting Quality Controllers

are in place before the full implementation of the Coating

Fingerprinting requirement by the Oil & Gas and Heavy

Engineering industries. IMM is towards collaborating

with the local chapters of NACE, Society for Protective

Coatings (SSPC) etc for standards development.

The Forum’s finale was an open dialogue between

the presenters and the audience. Ms. Michelle Lau from

NACE International was invited to join the Panel.

NACE indicated support for this Coating Fingerprinting

initiative and possibility of drafting NACE standards on

this topic with IMM’s input. Paint manufacturers also

indicated their support to comply to the Coating

Fingerprinting requirements once the Oil & Gas

Industry implements the requirement. Puan Nurul

informed that PETRONAS has plans to implement this

requirement for the Refinery and Petrochemical

Integrated Development (RAPID) project in Johor in

2016.

Finally, En. Mohd Azmi Mohd Noor highlighted

that PETRONAS and the other oil & gas industry

players have initiated the Cost Reduction Alliance 2.0

(CORAL 2.0) to reduce costs of doing business in the

Malaysian Oil & Gas industry via innovation and new

technologies. The Coating Fingerprinting initiative is

one of the innovations to assist CORAL 2.0 achieve its

objectives. PETRONAS is grateful to IMM and the

Task Force members for their voluntary service and

commitment to make this Quality Innovation a success

within a short time-frame.

Jotun Paints Visit to Faculty of Applied

Sciences, Universiti Teknologi MARA

Reported by: Anis Amilah Bt Ab Rahman & M Shahril Atiqi B M Sharip, PETRONAS GTS

Edited by: Nurul Asni Bt Mohamed, PETRONAS, GTS

Date: 19th November 2015, Thursday

Time: 9.30 am to 1 pm

Venue: Fakulti Sains Gunaan, Universiti Teknologi

MARA, 40450 Shah Alam, Selangor

A technical insight sharing by JOTUN Paint (M) Sdn

Bhd was held at Faculty of Applied Sciences (FSG),

Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) on 19th November 2015.

It was presented by JOTUN Paint specialist, Ms. Norunn

Folsvik and attended by members of Task Force on Coatings

Fingerprinting of Institute of Materials, Malaysia (IMM). One

of the prime objectives is to understand the paint

manufacturer response on the initiative.

The session began with the introduction of all

attendees followed by presentation on initiative background,

objectives, milestones and future implementation by

Ms. Nurul Asni Mohamed from PETRONAS, GTS and

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Melissa Chan Chin Han from UiTM. The

session then continued with presentation from Ms. Norunn

Folsvik, JOTUN Paint Specialist.

According to Ms. Norunn Folsvik, coating failures

have been found to be mainly driven by surface preparation

and compatibility between layers. However, JOTUN recently

had conducted a Round Robin exercise on fingerprinting

implementation across four factories worldwide for three

products as part of QA/QC verification. Based on Round

Robin results, JOTUN findings are consistent with the IMM

Coating Fingerprinting Task Force findings in Phase 1 and

Phase 2 that was presented in previous Forums on "Towards

Fingerprinting of Polymeric Coatings". Generally, it was

concluded that:

Sensitivity application for the compare algorithm has

been discussed between JOTUN and instrument manufacturer.

Volatile matters are consistent

Density is coherent across the products

FTIR correlation achieved 0.99

Reproducibility is a challenge for 900 – 1300 cm-1

range which applies for solvents and extenders. It is

important to know limitations and influence of the

spectroscopic absorption to the correlation numbers and

product performance.

Different raw materials may affect the correlation

although the product performance has been tested and

qualified for production.

ISO 20340 calls for testing of isolated binder instead of

full paint. Testing showed that there are differences be-

tween these two with clear differences at the binders and

extenders range – 700 to 900 cm-1 and 1100 to 1500 cm-1.

(Note that IMM Task Force does not require such details

to avoid issues with formulation secrecy).

Different instrument manufacturers have different com-

pare algorithms to estimate the degree of similarity (r) for

samples and it is important to understand the underlying

principles. Different options and parameter checks will

give different values. (Note that IMM Task Force has

already written an article in the past Materials Mind

magazine on thess findings).

across different industries. High sensitivity algorithms have

different mathematical approach as compared to normal

sensitivity, which is suitable for coatings industry. Applying

raw data for quality control (QC) purpose is more

representative and can reduces discrepancies (Note that IMM

Task Force has already written an article in the past Materials

Mind magazine to address equipment settings).

JOTUN suggested that specifications are to be

determined experimentally over a wide range of products over

time using different algorithms. Furthermore, reference

samples should include spectra from different sites and batch-

es to display the natural variation in the products in order to

find a sensible and achievable specification for the benefit of

both customers and paint manufacturers. Ms. Nurul Asni

mentioned that the library for baseline are to be provided by

coating manufacturers and they have the freedom to expand

their reference samples as deemed necessary provided that

manufactured products can still meet the quality specifica-

tions that was guaranteed.

Dr. Melissa also explained the correlation target setting

of 0.90 in the Coating Fingerprint Certificate was an agreed

compromise between Task Force members comprised of

various manufacturer’s representatives. Four algorithms from

different manufacturers have been tested and the correlation

was found to be acceptable. Detailed studies were not re-

quired on the algorithms.

At the end of the session, both parties agreed that

correlation acceptance criteria greater than 0.9 using high

sensitivity algorithm set in the coatings fingerprinting is

achievable based on findings by the IMM Coating Fingerprint

Task Force as presented by Dr. Melissa. The Task Force also

agreed to revisit the algorithm principle embedded in several

of the FTIR instruments that may affect the sensitivity and

correlation of the product as suggested by JOTUN.

IMM participated in the KLSEF

2015 held at the Mines International

Exhibition & Convention Centre Kuala

Lumpur, 30 Oct 2015 -1 Nov 2015. The

event was co-organized by Malaysian

Industry-Government Group for High

Technology (MIGHT), ASEAN Academy of

Engineering and Technology, Institution of Engineers

Malaysia (IEM), National Science Centre and Universiti

Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR).

The Institute of Materials, Malaysia (IMM) booth

promoted technical and vocational educational training

programs for school leavers, for example, the training

and certification for industrial protective coating

technicians whose work involve paint coating to

prevent rusting and corrosion in structures and industrial

plants. Movement up the career path is provided by the

IMM Coatings Inspector training course and certification

examination.

Professional welding as career for school leavers

was promoted by a welding simulator, similar to the

training of airline pilots who undergo training in a

flying simulator. Visitors who are able to hold a

welding torch and don the welding helmet are

encouraged to try their ability to manipulate the welding

torch to weld two plates together in the virtual arc and

spark environment. The manipulative skills and the

quality of the welding made by the visitor welder were

assessed by the simulator. Welding simulation for

Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Tungsten-

Arc Welding (GTAW ) and Gas Metal Arc Welding

(GMAW) welding processes were made available in the

simulator for visitors to try their welding skills. The

welding simulator generated much interest among school

children and the/their parents who accompanied them.

Many school children were made aware of professional

welding as a career option after schooling.

IMM is grateful for the support and sponsorship of

Weldmart Products & Services for their generous

contribution of loaning the welding simulator, as well as

Jotun Paints (M) Sdn Bhd and Nippon Paint (M) Sdn

Bhd for contribution of promotional items during the

3-day event.

Sublime! If I would to describe the

one-week experience that I had in Ireland

in one word, I would put it that way. The

2015 final of the Young Persons’ World

Lecture Competition is a flagship event

organized by the Institute of Materials,

Minerals and Mining (IOM3) which sees

the culmination of many local, regional and national

heats held in nine countries around the world. Within a

span of a week’s time, all of the participants were

Competition (YPWLC) 2015 Drogheda,

Ireland

nothing but inspiring and entertaining, all of which

enabled us to get to know our fellow competitors as

well as to develop friendships that will last for many

years to come! The first day tour which was carried out

a day after everyone had reached Ireland was conduct-

ed right in the heart of the Ireland itself; Dublin where

all of the organizers, sponsors, judges and participants

had the chance to visit the Trinity College of Dublin

and the Guinness Storehouse before we headed towards

one of the most amazing historical cities in Ireland –

Drogheda, within the very same day. Our stupendous

journey did not just stop there as it continued right on

our very first morning in Drogheda where we visited a

Health Products Regulatory, an authority organization

specializing in pharmaceutical and healthcare blister

packaging and bottle/tub; Millmount Healthcare and

Ireland’s premier waste-to-energy facility managed by

Indaver, an established European waste management

company, both of which I would like to regard as an

awe-inspiring experience for me. Later throughout the

week, right before the final took place on October 22nd,

2015, the participants were involved in pretty much

everything between the filming session of our

presentations to visits to a few local schools where we

had the opportunity to refine our presentation skills

toward the non-specialist audience as well as to

demonstrate the importance and relevance of our subject

areas in pressing global issues such as quality of life,

wealth creation and the environment.

Finally on our last two days in Ireland, the much

awaited moment arrived with the prestigious

competition final taking place at The Barbican Centre in

Drogheda itself. All of the nine participants flaunt their

best possible effort in delivering the 15 minutes

presentation in a heated competition before we

witnessed the Ireland representative Kevin Doherty,

won the judges’ hearts with his presentation entitled:

New Thermal Control Material Systems for Interplane-

tary and Geosynchronous Spaceflight, followed by

Kaushik Parida (Singapore) and Mariana Viegas Greco

de Oliveira (Brazil), both of which settled in the second

and third place respectively.

Regardless of not winning the competition, I must

say that this annual competition has taught me

something of immeasurable value, not only on the

importance of having the aptitude to convey technical

information in an enthusiastic and understandable way

to a non-specialist audience but also on the value of

friendship, good moral ethics as well as the ever

expanding world of materials, minerals and mining.

With that, I hereby sign off the report with a

heartfelt wish for next year’s front man to do a much

better work than I am, not solely in terms of winning the

competition but to cultivate all the gemstones acquired

during the whole course of the competition and bring it

back home to our very own motherland, in the hopes

that it can inspire our younger generations thus making

this nation a better one.

The participants proudly hold their national flags in one of the historical

cities in Ireland, Drogheda.

Reported by: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mariyam J. Ghazali, Drogheda, Dublin, Ireland, October 22, 2015

Nine talented ‘ambassadors’ with the Mayor of Drogheda, Mr. Paul Bell (centre) and reputable judges

The much-awaited moment had arrived. The

final flagship of IOM3 event for 2015 was held in the

historic city of Drogheda, located about 45 km north of

Dublin, Ireland. This year’s event had marked its 11th

international final, with previous finals having taken

place in the UK, Singapore, USA, South Africa,

Malaysia, Brazil and Hong Kong. Sponsored by

Companhia Brasilia de Metalurgia e Mineracao

(CBMM), Rolls-Royce and SCF Processing with

support from the Institute of Materials, Minerals and

Mining (IOM3) and Younger Members’ Committee

(YMC), we witnessed Irish local lad Mr. Kevin

Doherty from the University College Dublin took on

competitors from across the globe in the prestigious

competition, with his presentation entitled: New Ther-

mal Control Material Systems for Interplanetary and

Geosynchronous Spaceflight.

Kosher Parida from Singapore came second with

his talk on Piezoelectric Energy harvester: Converting

Ambient Mechanical Energy to useful Electrical Ener-

gy. In third place was Mariana Viegas Greco de

Oliveira from Brazil who talked about Biomimetics:

What can Nature Teach an Engineer? The event was

judged by Dr. Philip Bischler, chair of the IOM3 local

affairs board, who also acted as the moderator; Dr.

Mike Hicks, president of IOM3; Dr Siobhan Matthews,

CEO and CTO of SCF Processing; Dr. Kate Thornton,

chair of Younger Members’ Committee, and Anelise

Soares, marketing developer of CBMM.

Although Malaysia did not get the top three

prizes this year, our representative, Ms. Hana Atiqah

Young Persons’ World Lecture

Competition (YPWLC) 2015

had done a great job delivering her piece Towards a cure

for HIV: In Silico Protein Engineering of A Novel

Biomaterial. It was a tremendous achievement to do so

well against such stiff competition. The standard was

very high and with competitors being adjudicated on not

only their research but its applications and of course

their presentation skills; thus it was very challenging.

Prior to the competition itself, competitors spent

almost a week in Dublin and Drogheda taking part in

educational visits to schools, universities and other

interesting places.

This prestigious competition will be up and

running again next year. Thus, more work and effort

need to be done in order to screen the best young

Malaysian to become our ambassador in the next World

Final 2016 in Brazil. All in all, success is never

permanent and failure is never final. Therefore never

stop working after success and never stop trying after

failure.

Abstract

Any Enterprise, in any industrial sector, bases its

success primarily on two essential factors, technological

innovation and control of the fabrication process. It is

well known that, in the absence of innovation, every

production process "ages" and, in an environment of

dynamic development, it ceases to generate profit. It is

easy to understand that the Manufacturer has the

primary need to control his own fabrication process to

achieve the proposed goals (i.e. ensure the observance

of all those references to create, directly or indirectly,

benefits to the Company in the course of realization of

the product/service). These references do not only relate

to the adequacy of the product/service in terms of

quality and cost analysis, but also in terms of financial,

managerial, commercial, insurance, regulatory and

legislative, environmental and safety regulations

aspects, pertaining to the fabrication process

Introduction

Any Company in any industrial field, bases its own

success on two main factors:

tecnological innovation

fabrication process control

Without innovation, any production process becomes

outdated until the point of no profitability.

Without control, the fabrication process doesn’t follow

any improvement target and, in time, it becomes no

more profitable. So many Companies still today

thoughtlessly approach fabrication process control with

the only aim to match the contractual requirements

from the Client or to comply with some Standards and

regulations. On the contrary, the Manufacturer should

give the utmost importance to the fabrication process

control, because that's the only way to really achieve

any targets.

Fabrication Process Control

Regardless of the type of product, the fabrication

process can be thought of as the integration of the

various operative phases that lead to its realisation.

Traditionally, the fabrication process develops around

and is characterized by the following:

- acceptance of the technical, legal and contractual

requirements related to the product;

- fabrication

- sub-contracting

- personnel

- equipment

- materials

- identification and traceability

- validation and calibration

- tests and inspections

- non conformities record

- corrective actions

- documentation

While analyzing each of the above phases the Fabricator

can make use of certain tools that, specifically for each

different product being fabricated, can guide the

Fabricator itself to choose how to better develop and

optimize the fabrication process and the control on the

same process. The key aspects to be considered are the

following:

- invasiveness of the control

- vulnerability of the fabrication process

- innovation, both instrumental and managerial

- responsibilities of the Fabricator

- profitability of the fabrication process

Invasiveness of the control

The choice to use either more-invasive or less-invasive

control methods, does not necessarily depend

exclusively on the product characteristics; on the

contrary, it depends on the type of fabrication process

that is applied, and on the need to monitor such

fabrication process in order to guarantee the

achievement of certain results. In other words, the type

of fabrication process shall determine the level of

invasiveness of the control on the same fabrication

process. The main parameters that determine the level

of invasiveness of the control on the fabrication process

are the following:

- characteristics of the product, from the point of

view of quality and safety

- complexity of the fabrication

- extension of the sub-contracting

- materials used in fabrication

- fabrication processes and their level of

automation

- the significance, with specific reference to the

applications and use of the product, of the

fabrication defects

The above is particularly evident when it comes to the

so called "special processes": the processes for which

the quality and the characteristics of the product cannot

be evaluated by means of direct and non - destructive

control/inspection(1), but can only be verified by means

of indirect control/inspection[2] prior to, during and

after fabrication (e.g. welding, heat treatment, non -

destructive tests, coating, calendering, rolling etc.). One

of the consequences, for example, is that the more the

fabrication process is automated (which translates into

reduction or even lack of direct human intervention in

the fabrication process), the more the control of the

fabrication process shall depend on the validation of the

equipment and the processes procedures.

Vulnerability of the fabrication process

The fabrication process can have some vulnerable

areas that are specific for the process itself, as it is

applied. In particular, the areas of vulnerability that

most frequently occur in many fabrication processes

are the following:

- operational processes adequacy

- set up of special processes

- workability of the fabrication materials

- safety

- personnel's competence

- management of the sub-contractors

With specific reference to the competence of the

personnel, it is proven that even a deep knowledge of the

basic principles of the technology applied in fabrication

is not enough. On the contrary, what is really needed in

fabrication is experience and understanding of the

various issues related to the specific fabrication process

in the particular conditions of application of the same.

Instrumental and managerial innovations

A very important aspect to be considered - which on the

contrary is very often underestimated or even

completely ignored - is the fact that any effective

process control aimed at optimization and innovation

shall allow the Fabricator to find out any weakness and/

or inadequacy of the fabrication process, and adopt

effective corrective actions for improvement.

The common areas that traditionally leave great room

for improvement are the following:

- quality of the equipment

- optimization of the processes

- personnel's competence update and upgrade

Responsibilities of the Fabricator

The Fabricator, who is setting up and carrying on the

fabrication process, is three times responsible for its

actions: nstitutionally responsible (because its

production has to comply to the requirements of the

law); contractually responsible (because the production

and the output has to comply with the requirements of

the contract/agreement with the Client); legally

responsible (for any damages to any Third Parties). The

fabrication process control allows the Fabricator to face

and handle these aspects too, putting focus on:

- analysis of the requirements, both contractual

and technical

- adequacy of the fabrication process, in

consideration of safety and quality

- terms and conditions of sub-contracting

- behaviour of the personnel (while carrying on

fabrication activities, and while supervising on

the sub-contractor's fabrication)

Profitability of the fabrication process

Last but not least, the effective fabrication process

control allows the Fabricators to find out where and

how costs and profits are generated over the fabrication

process; hence, it allows the Fabricator to determine

where and how the correspondent contribution margins

are generated.

Particular focus has to be kept on:

- adequacy of the purchasing procedures

- economic viability of the operative processes

- production functionality and adequacy of the

equipment

For this, the smaller the contribution margins, the more

comprehensive and detailed the fabrication process

control has to be. This is a typical dysfunction of the

mass production, where even the smallest dysfunction

in the fabrication process will translate into damages or

losses that are proportional to the production capacity.

Final Analysis

The following table represents a summary of what have

been previously mentioned, with the only consideration

that every single element that has been mentioned is

still closely related to each phase of the control of the

fabrication process. Actually, the information

mentioned herein appear to be the most relevant to our

scope. The information referred to in the table below

can be of guidance to the Fabricator for the organization

and management of an adequate control of the

fabrication process, allowing the Fabricator to find out

the areas and activities which mostly require monitoring

during the fabrication process and which are most

closely related to the Fabricator's own production.

In fact, it is fundamental for the Fabricator to gain in

efficiency by focusing more on innovation, preparation

and fine-tuning; this is to avoid unnecessary and

potentially high additional fabrication costs caused by

a high number of NDT tests to be done afterwards.

ISO 3834 Standard

The approach of the fabricator towards the world of

"rules and regulations" (or rather, the technical

Standards) is also very important. Such Standards shall

in fact be considered for what they are - common

knowledge to be shared in the form of organizational

tools, and not as number of regulations which the

fabricator has to comply with to avoid clashes and

lawsuits with the Project Owners.

In the field of welding fabrication, the purpose of the

Standard ISO 3834 - initially published in its first

edition during the early '90s, is to provide a general

guideline to "optimise and keep under control" the

welding fabrication process.

Such goal has been mostly achieved, especially with the

latest edition of the same Standard (duly included into

several other Standards for welded products for each

field such as EN 15085 for rail vehicle EN 1090 for

infrastructures, EN 13445 for pressure equipment, EN

13480 for industrial piping, etc.).

In brief, the Standard analyses the parameters of the

welding fabrication, and also provides effective

solutions for the management of the same parameters.

Hence, the use of the ISO 3834 shall be seen as a matter

of "investment into better organised and more

cost-effective fabrication", and not as a matter of

"compliance with new external regulations". In the first

case, when there is active and intelligent application of

the Standard, the Fabricators in fact able to benefit from

the Standard; while in the second case the Fabricators

will simply incur additional costs.

Conclusions

Only few Fabricators today understand that fabrication

Directors of the IIW. From 2004 to 2007, he was a

member of the Board of Directors and Treasurer of the

EWF. Since 2009 he's been the President of the

"Welding Committee" of the UNI.

Since 2011, after the restructuring of the Italian

Institute of Welding from a single Company to a

Group of three Companies, Mr. Scasso has also been

the President and CEO of IIS Service and IIS Cert,

until 2014.

Biodata

process control is essential not only for the development

of the Company, but more importantly for its survival.

The Fabricators have the duty to create added value for

themselves, and such added value is in the processes;

hence, "innovation", "efficiency" and "effectiveness"

shall be created in the processes (fabrication process,

in the first place). Without innovation, efficiency and

effectiveness, survival in a globalized market won't be

anything but a transitory condition.
