Premature coating failures can cause serious, costly
consequences: money, downtime, repair and replacement
costs, and legal fees. KTA's two-day "Managing Coating
Failure Investigations" analyzes the primary causes of
coatings failure, the testing and documentation required
in a field investigation, the role of the laboratory, and
the management of the failure itself. The course also
covers the assessment of options and solutions. Actual
failures (case studies) are the forcus of day two,
followed by a workshop where small teams of participants
attempt to resolve three separate failures. Since many
coating faiures open the door to conflict, the course ends
with an interactive session on dispute resolution.
By the end of the course, participants should be able
to: - Identify types and causes of coating
failures
- Describe the steps involved in a field
investigation
- Use the gages and tools involved in a
typical field investigation
- Apply laboratory test
results to resolve failures
- Manage coating failure
investigations
- Describe the principles of dispute
resolution
KTA's "Coating Failure Analysis in
the Field and in the Lab" offers two days of intensive,
interactive analysis of coating failures led by skilled,
experienced instructors. Recommended for coating
contractors, engineers, specification writers,
coating suppliers, quality control and quality assurance
personnel, and all who deal with the aftermath of a
coating failure. KTA-Tator is authorized by IACET to
offer 1.6 CEUs for this training. |
