Chemical inhibitors have been widely deployed in the field without appropriate optimization, which has resulted in chemical consumption being listed as one of the top LOE (Loss Of Expenditure) contributors.

... susceptibility at a given coating defect location. Inputs used in the mathematical model include: DCVG defect severity, CIPS pipe-to-soil "OFF" potentials and local soil electrical resistivity. The output is a real number, defined in the interval [0, 3], which provides a qualitative and quantitative degree...

... Abstract The present approach for considering galvanic incompatibilities is simplistic and static. It is simplistic in that the only thing it takes into account is the galvanic potential difference between two adjacent materials. An estimate of the galvanic corrosion severity is usually...

Understanding mechanisms and severity of external corrosion of cased carrier pipe is a significant step toward developing strategies to prevent or mitigate...

... that currently exists. To a large extent this is related to the complexity of the subject; however, there is a significant need to develop for industry a method for ranking the severity of pipeline damage. At the present time there is no single method for doing this. This paper will provide insights...

... ABSTRACT A large scale atmospheric corrosion monitoring test was undertaken for the purpose of characterizing environmental severity. This work was conducted at ground based Army, Navy, Coast Guard, and Air Force sites. At present over 73 sites are in operation. This work adds to the existing...
