As the tank fills the capacitance increases while the leakage resistance decreases in proportion to the wetted area. The conservative case is to consider only the floor area. Assume that the charging current Iq < 10 pA and that the gas involved is hydrogen, whose LMIE W = 0.016 mJ. Eor lining thickness d = 2 mm, dielectric constant = 4, and floor area A = 10 m, the... 

Fitzpatrick et al. [41] used small-spot XPS to determine the failure mechanism of adhesively bonded, phosphated hot-dipped galvanized steel (HDGS) upon exposure to a humid environment. Substrates were prepared by applying a phosphate conversion coating and then a chromate rinse to HDGS. Lap joints were prepared from substrates having dimensions of 110 x 20 x 1.2 mm using a polybutadiene (PBD) adhesive with a bond line thickness of 250 p,m. The Joints were exposed to 95% RH at 35 C for 12 months and then pulled to failure.

The availability of probes that can be welded to the outer walls of piping or process vessels providing on-line thickness measurement is an interesting development which would seem to bridge the technologies of corrosion monitoring and inspection".

Thickeners, fillers, and thixotropic agents are also commonly used to control flow and the bond line s thickness within a joint. Scrims, carriers, and woven reinforcements are other methods commonly used to control bond line thickness.

The viscosity of epoxy resins and curing agents can be used to control the bond line thickness within the adhesive joint. But the bond line can also be regulated by the incorporation of fillers, by the use of scrim cloth or woven tapes as internal shims within the adhesive itself, or by the careful regulation of the cure cycle. 

It can provide for a practical and reproducible bond line thickness in the final joint. 

The first three factors are generally controlled by the rheological properties of the liquid adhesive through the application of fillers in the formulation. The final factor can be controlled through the viscosity however, other methods are also possible to control the bond line thickness. 

The type and amount of fillers are chosen so that a practical bond line thickness will result after application of the necessary pressure (usually only contact pressure, approximately 5 psi) during cure. Ordinarily, the objective is a bond line thickness of 2 to 10 mils. Consideration, of course, must be given to the curing temperature. Viscosity of the formulation could drastically be reduced at elevated temperatures, and unless there is a furrow designed into the joint to contain the adhesive, much of the adhesive could flow out of the joint area before the adhesive is completely cured. 

Supporting fibers in epoxy adhesive tapes are useful in that they provide for a positive stop under bonding pressure. This can be used to control bond line thickness and to help distribute stresses evenly during service. The supporting fibers that are used in these adhesives are primarily for the purposes of carrying the adhesive and convenient application to the substrate. Their reinforcing function within the epoxy matrix is generally considered to be of secondary importance. 

Many film adhesives have a supporting carrier or reinforcement fabric incorporated into the adhesive to improve handling of the film and provide control of bond line thickness. The carriers are usually glass, polyester, or nylon fabrics of knitted, woven, or nonwoven construction. The difficulty with such carriers is that they can provide an effective way of moisture entering the bulk of the adhesive. Moisture can wick along the fiber-adhesive interface. Nylon carriers should especially be reviewed since they have a strong tendency to absorb moisture. 

Liquids. Liquids are the most common form of adhesive, and they can be applied by a variety of methods. Liquids have an advantage in that they are relatively easy to transfer, meter, and mix. They also tend to wet the substrate easily and provide uniform bond line thickness. However, they have the disadvantages of sometimes being messy, requiring cleanup, and having a relatively high degree of waste. 

Application requires a relatively high degree of care to ensure nonwrinkling and removal of separator sheets. Films are often supported on scrim that distributes stress in the cured joint and ensures a uniform bond line thickness throughout the bonded area.
