Corrosion / Erosion Inspection & Testing
Anything made from metal is susceptible to corrosion. The negative effects of corrosion and erosion cost the oil & gas and power generation industries billions of dollars every year in unscheduled plant or pipeline shutdowns, inefficient or lost production, high maintenance repair costs or imposed fines. Experts believe that 20% to 25% of corrosion-related costs could be avoided.
It is critical to constantly and consistently monitor and inspect for corrosion. Without proper monitoring, corrosion can wreak havoc within a pipe or other metal surface. The corrosion you do not see is the most dangerous, causing damage from the inside out. Corrosion and erosion detection, sizing and monitoring technologies are important elements toward realizing those savings.
