The comprehensive reference on modern techniques and methods formonitoring and inspecting corrosion
Strategic corrosion inspection and monitoring can improve assetmanagement and life cycle assessment and optimize operationalbudgets. Advances in computer technologies and electronics have ledto very efficient tools for monitoring and inspecting corrosion,including impedance spectroscopy, electrical field signatures,acoustic emissions, and radiographs. This up-to-date referenceexplains both intrusive and non-intrusive methods of measuringcorrosion rates. It covers:
* The impact of corrosion on the economy and the safe operationof systems in diverse operational environments
* The various forms of corrosion, with a focus on thedetectability of corrosion damage in the real world
* The principles of risk-based inspection and various riskassessment methodologies (HAZOP, FMECA, FTA, and ETA), withexamples from industry
* The monitoring of microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC),cathodic protection (CP) systems, and atmospheric corrosion
* Non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques, including visual,ultrasonic, radiographic, electromagnetic, and thermographicinspection
* Roadmaps used by various industries and organizations forcarrying out complex inspection and monitoring schedules
Complete with graphics and illustrations, this is the definitivereference for professionals involved in the maintenance ofindustrial systems and structures, from oil exploration to chemicalplants and infrastructures; consultants; property managers; andcivil, materials, and construction engineers.
