NACEInternational values its committee members and the countless hours they volunteer to help lead the corrosion prevention industry. In this section, you will find a variety of resources to help guide you in conducting Technical Committee meetings and requesting information about committee activities during corrosion industry events.
Task Groups (TG) are small committees that are formed by one or more STGs assigned to a technical committee informational document, software, or publication. Task Groups do not develop Standards and Technical Reports requiring consensus balloting. After the assigned task has been completed, the Task Group will be disbanded. To join a Task Group, contact
TechnicalActiv...@nace.org.
NACE Committee Workspace (NCW) is the NACE online communication tool that allows members of a specific committee to exchange information. If you need further assistance, you may contact
TechnicalActiv...@nace.org.
In order to help you conduct committee meetings as efficiently and successfully as possible, we have provided a number of helpful agenda, minutes, and report sample documents for your use. Please select a sample .doc or .pdf from the menu below:
This NACE TM 0172 standard test method is intended to determine the corrosive properties of petroleum product pipeline cargoes. This method provides guidelines for performing the test method described in ASTM D 665. The method has been modified however to be applicable to gasoline, fuels and other petroleum products, and so that it permits analysis within a single working day. This short test is particularly applicable to a control procedure of batches of products due to the need for prompt release of cargoes and decision making during the working day.

Mix 300 mL of the oil with 30 mL of distilled water or synthetic sea water, at a temperature of 60 1C with a cylindrical steel test rod described in Fig.1, totally immersed in the vessel. The test is run for 4 h; however, this time might change depending on contract agreements. At the end of the test, the specimen is inspected for signs and degrees of rusting.
This standard test method is intended to be used by corrosion engineers, corrosion technicians, corrosion consultants, scientists, and others concerned with determining the antirust properties of gasoline, distillate fuels and mineral oils for transport through petroleum product pipelines.
Alternately the testing rod can be placed in the NACE ANA apparatus ANA shown in Fig. 3. This is an automated single position test apparatus. ANA saves operator time for the sequences, controlling lock in position, time and temperatures. After the programmed time ANA will automatically rise the head to halt exposure and buzz to alert the operator to retrieve the specimen for either visual or automated rating.
An especial calibration procedure, can be used in the field, for periodic verifications. Light conditions, colors and algorithm, remain unchanged throughout the sequence testing thereby ensuring a proper QC procedure necessary for users and accredited laboratories.
All pre-loaded Test Methods comply with the ASTM D665, NACE TM0172 and ASTM D7548 experimental conditions for the different petroleum product classes defined in the scope of the specified standard methods.
Interpret the corrosiveness of the sample in accordance with the degrees of rusting described in section 12, Note 16 of the D665 standard test method, or the classifications of the accelerated ASTM D7548 Iron Corrosion Testing Chart described in Table 1 and Section 5, Rating of Test Specimen of NACE TM0172 Method.
Manual Rating: When a specimen is in the obvious transition state, the operator has the option to do a manual verification and visual inspection before the final classification is reached and displayed as shown in Fig. 7.
Automated Rating Procedure: Report the corrosiveness in accordance with one of the classifications listed in Table 1. State the duration of the test and the test temperature in the following format:
A reference to this ASTM-IP standard, indicating whether Procedure A, B, or C was used. Since Procedure C may be followed with either distilled water or sea water, be sure to include the type of water used in this case,
A mini round robin on twelve samples with two measurements each show an excellent repeatability for the analysis. Table 2 displays the ratings assigned by FeDDI and important parameters like covered and total area as well as the corresponding tester dimensions. Values clearly indicate absolute compliance with ASTM repeatability definition.
Tests shall be conducted in large, and well-ventilated laboratories or in extraction hoods to avoid the concentration of flammable vapors. Personnel conducting the test should be aware of the hazards of handling volatile products such as gasoline. Please refer to ASTM D4057 standard and to the safety requirements of the laboratory.
On behalf of Franklin Pierce University, we would like to welcome and congratulate you on your first step toward establishing or improving a comprehensive and competitive internship program for your organization. Our students have been commended for their knowledge, work ethic, and professionalism in the workplace, and we are confident that you will find them a welcomed addition to your staff.
This guidebook provides the business community with an overview of academic programs at Franklin Pierce, protocols to ensure program alignment with the United States Department of Labor standards, and sample internship descriptions from our current partners offering well developed experiential opportunities for students. Our hope is that this guidebook will not only instruct you on the design and implementation of an internship program, but also illustrate the benefits of investing in an experiential learning.
As we move forward in this process, please connect with us if you have any questions or are in need of support. Strong collaboration will create a pipeline of talent into your organization and ensure our students engage in meaningful opportunities to launch their careers. Together, we can bridge the gap between college and career.
The benefits of having an internship program at your organization are immense. Interns can provide your professional staff with freedom to pursue more creative or advanced projects or assist your organization in implementing the latest strategies, techniques, or technology. Internship programs also provide your organization with increased visibility at the academic institution which can support your recruiting efforts while also promoting your organizations commitment to community involvement. Each organization experiences unique benefits, and this guide will help you strategically develop your internship program.
Internships are wonderful opportunities shared by employers, academic institutions, and students, however, internship programs are not the right opportunity for every employer to pursue and are not the only opportunities that benefit students in their academic and professional development. Other varieties of experiential learning include:
There are many integral members of the internship process that affect program success. Clearly outlined roles and responsibilities ensure that both the employer and the student benefit from the partnership. The roles and responsibilities of the internship team include:
Quality internships are meaningful learning experiences that assist in bridging the gap between education in the classroom and application of knowledge in the workplace. To meet this end, the priority should be to provide students with a professional opportunity that consists of both formal training and on-the-job experience. The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) identifies twenty best practices that should be considered when developing a comprehensive and competitive internship program.
If all of the above factors are met, an employment relationship does not exist under the FLSA and the internship may be unpaid. If the employer cannot or is not willing to satisfy all factors listed, the intern must be must be paid at least the minimum wage and overtime compensation for hours worked over forty in a work week.
Nonprofit Sector
Internships in the nonprofit sector can be offered as paid or unpaid experiences. The DOL classifies an unpaid intern as a volunteer and a paid intern as an employee. Nonprofits that cannot pay an intern at least the minimum wage and overtime compensation for hours worked over forty in a work week, but would like to offer the intern a stipend should designate the intern as a trainee. Nonprofits that choose to designate interns as trainees must be prepared to defend how the internship primarily benefits the intern and not the nonprofit. Nonprofit organizations are highly encouraged to review state regulations related to classification of employees and volunteers, wages, and accident/injury liability, insurance, and compensation.
New Hampshire Department of Labor Requirements
All New Hampshire businesses must be prescreened by the Department of Labor prior to an unpaid experiential opportunity. Programs such as internships, externships, or mentor programs must be approved by the Labor Commissioner when there is no pay or a sub-minimum rate of pay such as a stipend. The Commissioner will establish whether an employer-employee relationship exists between the employer and the student.
