A Review of Ultrasonic Tomography for Monitoring the Corrosion of Steel Pipes

Abstract

Infrastructure development is currently taking place rapidly. Designing a dwelling or premises is currently implemented quickly while controlling construction costs in addition to providing guidance on planned development. The architecture uses steel as a main part of the pile and drainage system is connected from sources to consumer. This study focuses on steel pipes that are exposed to corrosion. This problem is considered serious because steel pipes are used not only for the delivery of water supply but also for the delivery of gas and oil to the oil and gas sector, where the same problem occurs. Impacts of the problem of corrosion of steel pipes contribute to the risk of loss to the owner of the premises or industry. An overview of leakage problems, which cause a reduction in the volume of materials or hazards to the environment and consumers, is given, and the occurrence of corrosion in pipelines is evaluated. Monitoring methods use ultrasonic tomography as a major contribution to the implementation of monitoring and assessing the status of pipe durability and ability. This paper looks at the concept of diverse ultrasonic tomography inventions used to assist the process of monitoring of the level of pipeline capacity that will suffer corrosion.

Screening and Quantification of Aliphatic Primary Alkyl Corrosion Inhibitor Amines in Water Samples by Paper Spray Mass Spectrometry

“…Polyamine corrosion inhibitor formulations are widely used in large high pressure (HP) water tube boiler plants, e.g., refineries, power generating plants, steel works, chemical plants where the operating pressure is >45 bar. There is a strong need for analytical methods for on-site analysis and quantification of corrosion inhibitor residues in the large HP water tube boiler plants systems with fast response times, preferably with little or no special sample preparation. − From such samples, the analytical data obtained should be useful in maintaining the appropriate levels of the inhibitor in the water tube boiler plants. This is useful not only for quality control but in the development of new effective corrosion inhibitors to combat corrosion in large high pressure (HP) water tube boiler plants. − …”
