Need for corrosion monitoring

Need for Corrosion Monitoring

The rate of corrosion dictates how long any process plant can be usefully and safely operated. The measurement of corrosion and the action to remedy high corrosion rates permits the most cost effective plant operation to be achieved while reducing the life-cycle costs associated with the operation. Corrosion monitoring techniques can help in several ways:

	*By providing an early warning that damaging process conditions are developing*
	*By revealing the correlation between changes in process parameters and their effect on system corrosivity*
	*By diagnosing a particular corrosion problem, identifying its cause and the rate controlling parameters, such as pressure, temperature, pH, flow rate, etc.*
	*By evaluating the effectiveness of a corrosion control/prevention program*
	*By providing management the information necessary to relate maintenance requirements to ongoing conditions of Operation*
