Tank lining failures are not an uncommon occurrence in the oilfield. Sometimes we chalk it up to bad luck, poor application, lying paint salesmen, or just bad coating. But isn't there some science and testing behind tank lining formulations? This paper will describe some of the testing procedures for qualifying tank linings and the science behind them. There will also be some discussion about how failures seen in the lab correlate to failures in the field.
