Underground Pipeline Corrosion

Informationen zum Autor Mark Orazem is a Professor of the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Florida, USA. He has developed, in collaboration with the oil and gas industry, simulation tools for cathodic protection of pipeline networks. Professor Orazem is a Fellow of the Electrochemical Society and a former President of the International Society of Electrochemistry. Klappentext Oil, gas and other types of underground pipeline are critical components of civil infrastructure. Detecting the presence of corrosion which may cause a pipeline to fail is a major challenge. This important book reviews key research on understanding corrosion processes and methods for detecting corrosion, including magnetic flux leakage, the close interval potential survey method, the Pearson survey method and in-line inspection techniques Inhaltsverzeichnis Contributor contact details Woodhead Publishing Series in Metals and Surface Engineering Introduction References Versatile Part I: Understanding and managing corrosion processes 1.
