Laboratory experiments and observation of pit growth rates in six operating fields have yielded a model to predict internal pitting corrosion of oil and gas pipelines. Nov. 26, 2007 15 min read ...

New field-proven automated electrochemical monitoring technology provides a means for evaluating corrosion and pitting in petroleum piping, making corrosion a real-time process variable. A broad range ...

Problem: Steam turbines generate most of the world’s electricity, and approximately 42% in the US [1]. Keeping them in operation is vital. Condensation in the low-pressure stage can result in ...

A process which involves deterioration or degradation of metal is referred to as corrosion. The most typical example of corrosion is the degradation of alloys or metals. Usually, corrosion phenomena ...
