Modern corrosion monitoring technologies can emphasize the highly time-dependent nature of corrosion damage. The integration of corrosion monitoring technology in existing systems can also provide early warning of costly corrosion damage and provide information on where the damage is taking place.
In the present business environment, successful enterprises cannot tolerate major corrosion failures, especially when these involve personal injuries, fatalities, unscheduled shutdowns and environmental contamination. For this reason considerable effort must be expended in corrosion control at all stages of a system's life, from the design table to the last day of operation. Typically, once a system, a plant or any piece of equipment is put into service, maintenance is required to keep it operating safely and efficiently. This is particularly true for aging systems and structures that will be required to operate beyond their original design life.
Corrosion inspection and monitoring are used to determine the condition of a system and to determine how well corrosion control and maintenance programs are performing. Corrosion monitoring embraces a host of techniques, from simple coupon exposures to smart structure computerized sensing systems. This Module brings to your attention a selection of new tools that have the Corrosion Doctors particularly excited.
