The report summarizes the findings of 61 tests conducted under simulated pipeline conditions to determine the effect of different pipeline environmental and flow conditions on internal corrosion of pipeline steels. Using different corrosion probes…
The purpose of this research was to understand the potential impact of drag reducing agents (DRA) on internal corrosion of liquid hydrocarbon pipelines.
The first task of this project included a comprehensive review of literature and knowledge,…
To enhance the ECDA process, this project evaluated whether soil data could be used in a model to predict locations where external corrosion would be an issue. If by adding soils data to the previously collected ECDA datasets it could be shown that…
Develops a quantitative assessment of time-dependent threats, with a focus on vintage onshore gas transmission pipelines. Characteristics for the vintage pipeline system were established in terms of diameter, wall thickness, service conditions, grade…
The ultimate goal of this project is to investigate and develop laser peening of stainless and carbon steels used for pipeline construction to improve their corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance of pipelines will be enhanced via the…
Describes the results of a literature review to describe the factors that contribute to the internal corrosion of wet gas pipelines and to describe internal corrosion control, inspection, and monitoring techniques. A number of apparently subtle…
The objectives of this research are to figure out how solid state decouplers (SSDs) influence the surveys related to pipeline cathodic protection (CP) and provide corresponding field guidelines on how to mitigate the adverse effects of…
A protocol developed is to help assure that the Pipeline Research Council International ECDA-ILI Demonstration Project (Project) receives the correct and sufficient data to successfully conduct the analyses and meet the Project objectives. Its focus…
Between 1911 and 1984, the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) conducted a large number of corrosion studies that included the measurement of corrosion damage to samples exposed to real-world environments. One of these studies was an investigation…
