Chevron Oil, Mississippi

November 2003

A steam valve running 600°F (315°C), which has never been able to be insulated before. HPC® COATING applied in a very thin coat, directly to the valve while operating. After the initial coat was sprayed on and steamed out, the additional coats built up quickly. The white look is because the next day, the HPC® COATING was overcoated with SP LIQUID MEMBRANE ® white high gloss to protect HPC® COATING from weathering and UV.

Another Valve location running 489°F (254°C). Personnel applied 350 mils DFT ( 350/1000 " or approximately 1/3 " ) of HPC® COATING to see what the temperature would settle to and it was 180°F (82°C). The other side was applied at 750 mils DFT ( 3/4 " ) and the temperature settled to 135°F (57°C). The "dollar plate" (end of the tube showing bolts around circle) immediately dropped to 135°F (57°C).
