Pulp and Paper Industry Publications

Corrosion Probe staff have written three books that are utilized widely in the industry:

	Maintenance Painting of Steel Structures in Pulp and Paper Mills - A Program Approach for Maximum Cost Effectiveness [D. Bennett, R. Nixon]
	Concrete Handbook: Practical Guide for Protecting and Improving the Durability of Concrete in Pulp and Paper Mills [D. Bennett, R. Nixon]
	The Fundamentals of Cleaning and Coating Concrete [R. Nixon]
Additionally, we have developed two important guidelines available directly from Corrosion Probe:
	Handbook on Welding Essentials for Engineers in Pulp and Paper Mills [D. Bennett]

	Handbook for Inspection and Repair of Brick and Tile Linings in Pulp and Paper Mills [D. Bennett, R. Nixon]

Our Dave Bennett authored Welding Research Council Bulletin 488, Damage Mechanisms Affecting Fixed Equipment in the Pulp and Paper Industry, which assists mill engineering and maintenance staffs in planning and executing equipment inspection and repairs. Corrosion Probe's engineers and consultants have also played a significant role in the development and maintenance of nearly all Technical Information Papers (TIPs) generated by TAPPI's Corrosion and Materials Engineering Committee, including:
0402-03	Guidelines for corrosion resistant weld overlay in sulfate and soda digester vessels

0402-25	Guidelines for procurement of cast stainless steels for large pumps and valve for the pulp and paper industry
0402-26	Guidelines for welding and inspection of stainless alloy piping
0402-27	Guidelines for inspecting continuous digesters and impregnation vessels
0402-28	Guidelines for inspecting used FRP equipment
0402-29	Qualification of welding procedures for duplex stainless steels
0402-30	Inspection for cracking of composite tubes in black liquor recovery boilers
0402-31	Guidelines for evaluating the quality of boiler tube butt welds with ultrasonic testing
0402-32	Guidelines for applying thermal spray coatings to protect pulp mill process equipment against corrosion
0402-33	Guideline for obtaining high quality radiographic testing (RT) of butt welds in boiler tubes

Finally, our staff have written journal articles and conference papers on numerous topics of crucial interest to pulp and paper mill engineering and maintenance staffs:
