Technologies for monitoring internal corrosion in industrial pipes
Inspenet, November 15, 2023.
Pipeline corrosion is some of the major challenges in the oil and gas process industries, causing unplanned shutdowns and limiting operational performance. It is important that operators monitor the risk of corrosion and erosion and its impact on the condition of assets. Currently, companies offer a wide variety of state-of-the-art equipment for measuring corrosion and erosion.
Development of corrosion-resistant materials for hydrogen transport and storage
Hydrogen is a promising energy vector, but its transport and storage face challenges related to corrosion and diffusion.
Challenges in evaluating Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) in the oil and gas industry
In the oil and gas industry, operational safety and efficiency are critical to ensuring a constant flow of hydrocarbons through the supply chain. However, Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI), a hidden threat, represents one of the most critical challenges in terms of inspection, as it directly impacts the integrity of assets.
Stress Corrosion Cracking: Mechanism, control and practical cases
