Selecting Materials for Corrosion Resistance
Materials Matter: Selecting the Right Material for Corrosion Resistance An offshore platform can have nearly 50,000 feet of tubing, more than 20,000 fluid system components, no fewer than 10,000 fittings, and as many as 8,000 mechanical connections. That’s why when selecting materials, it is important to choose corrosion resistant metals.
Pitting Corrosion vs. Crevice Corrosion
Pitting Corrosion vs. Crevice Corrosion: Identifying the Differences Corrosion—the deterioration of engineered materials by chemical interaction with their environment—is an extraordinarily costly problem. Unchecked stainless steel corrosion in tubing systems is a leading cause of profit loss for offshore and nearshore applications, costing upwards of $1 billion each year, according to research fr …
How corrosives imperceptibly affect the efficiency of your plant
Having efficiently operating plants with as few downtime moments as possible is highly desirable within the gas/oil and petro/chemical industries. Corrosion is a common problem in this regard. It is a natural process that occurs when certain materials, especially metals, react with their environment, leading to gradual deterioration. Learn in this blog what corrosion is, where it often occurs in a …
