Guidelines for use of statistics for
analysis of sample inspection
of corrosion-This document is intended to advise plant engineers and inspection personnel on
methods for analysing and extrapolating inspections for large plant items including
vessels, pipework and pipelines, taking into account the statistical nature of corrosion.
The document is intended to introduce the methods of statistical analysis of corrosion
inspection data. Before the methodology is included in standards, practical experience of
industrial applications is needed to identify the most relevant distributions and statistical
techniques. |

Preventing Corrosion in Steel Bridges
- Each year the Federal
Government and State departments of transportation (DOTs) spend billions of
dollars on bridge rehabilitation and maintenance due to corrosion. On bridges,
corrosion is most often caused when steel is exposed to atmospheric conditions,
such as salt, moisture, and oxygen. To prevent corrosion on bridges,
transportation agencies apply a protective coating to the steel. |

Corrosion
Prevention and Control: A Program Management Guide for Selecting Materials
-Advanced Materials,
Manufacturing, and Testing Information Analysis Center -
Corrosion is a process that occurs when a material deteriorates due to its
interaction with the surrounding environment in which an electrochemical
reaction consumes the material through oxidation. As a material corrosively
deteriorates, its material properties likewise degrade. The result of corrosion
manifests itself as weapon system or component failure at the worst or unsightly
appearance at the best, and it’s important to realize that corrosion occurs in
nearly all weapon systems and operating environments |

MIL-HDBK-735 - MATERIAL DETERIORATION PREVENTION AND CONTROL GUIDE FOR
ARMY MATERIEL, PART ONE, METALS
This handbook focuses on actions that can be taken to
avoid or reduce the effects of metal corrosion, and it is
written for those individuals who are in a position to take
such actions.
An item of Army materiel comes under the control or
influence of numerous individuals. These individuals
have different interests in and opportunities for action to
control corrosion or its effects. The soldier maintains his
weapon because his effectiveness and survival depend on
it. A design engineer, however, can influence the serviceability
of all weapons issued to Army personnel.
Because of the wide range of skill, expertise, and
interest of those involved in preventing and controlling
corrosion in Army materiel, this handbook is addressed
to those whose technical expertise in the area of corrosion
may be limited but whose appropriate and timely action
to avoid or control corrosion is crucial. There are many
sources of corrosion information that may be consulted.
These include technical reports, journal articles,
symposium collections, and textbooks. |

CORROSION CONTROL AND
TREATMENT MANUAL- A properly implemented
corrosion control program will disclose corrosion attack in the early stages.
Minor maintenance can correct such corrosion. Preventive maintenance is the most
cost-effective method of controlling corrosion, including problems caused by
poor design. The atmosphere at KSC contains a high salt content that is readily
deposited on exposed surfaces. This, combined with acidic solid rocket booster
effluent that is pH of 1 to 2, substantial rainfall, steady winds, low land
elevation, and generally high humidity and temperature, results in an ideal
environment for extensive metal corrosion. These conditions induce both
electrolytic action and chemical reactions dependent upon the metals involved
and how they are used. Although corrosion control is primarily the
responsibility of the maintainer of the equipment, the designer is responsible
for providing hardware that will not present unnecessary problems. |

High-Performance Alloys for Resistance to
Aqueous Corrosion
-
Due to their excellent corrosion resistance and good
mechanical properties, the Special Metals nickel-based alloys are used for a
broad range of applications in an equally broad range of industries, including
chemical and petrochemical processing, pollution control, oil and gas
extraction, marine engineering, power generation, and pulp and paper
manufacture. The alloys' versatility and reliability make them the prime
materials of choice for construction of process vessels, piping systems, pumps,
valves and many other applications designed for service in aqueous and
high-temperature environments |

SELECTION GUIDE- ENVIRONMENTAL CORROSION PROTECTION -
Corrosion is costly. By definition, corrosion is the
destruction or deterioration of a metal or alloy through chemical, physical, or
electrochemical reaction with the environment. As applied to HVAC equipment,
exposure to various elements in the environment can lead to localized and/or
general corrosion of heating and cooling coils. Improperly protected coils in
corrosive areas can lead to premature performance degradation, unsightly surface
conditions and, under the most severe conditions, equipment failure. This can be
costly to the customer and result in lost sales caused by the perception of poor
product quality. Fortunately, corrosion can be minimized in most cases with
proper coil protection. |

Guide to the Control of Atmospheric Corrosion -
Atmospheric corrosion is not a very clearly defined subject.
It occupies the territory between immersed corrosion and dry oxidation, since
metals may be exposed to damp atmospheres or may be subjected to the full force
of the weather. It is usually taken to include packaging and storage, painting
and preparation for painting, and the effects of climate and air purity. This
contribution will concentrate mainly on corrosion of iron and steel, with
sideglances at other metals where necessary |

Corrosion protection of steel bridges -
The use of steel in bridges goes back over 100 years. A
notable example is the imposing Forth Rail bridge in Scotland, which was
completed in 1890. The scale and size of this significant landmark was a major
achievement in construction engineering, and the structure has stood the test of
time. The surface preparation and painting systems used on this bridge, and on
similar old steel bridges, are quite primitive by modern standards and frequent
maintenance is required to ensure a continued serviceable life.

Guide to the Avoidance of Corrosion of Metal Gutter
Systems - The purpose of this guide is to create an
improved awareness of how best to avoid the corrosion of metal gutter drainage
systems that are installed in a wide variety of industrial, commercial and
historic buildings. These buildings are distributed throughout the UK and
therefore their drainage systems are exposed to rural, marine and industrial
environments. If the life expectancy of any system is to be achieved then it is
important that all those involved with their manufacture, installation and
maintenance ensure that best practice is achieved at all times and preferably
within the appropriate BS, EN specifications or those recommended by the
manufacturer or supplier. |

Navy Corrosion Control Criteria
Corrosion of shore and waterfront facilities is a common
and serious problem. Naval shore establishment losses to corrosion are estimated
at over one-half billion dollars annually. Corrosion related costs and the
adverse impact on mission readiness are of increasing concern. Additionally a
corrosion leak in a POL tank or pipeline could be very expensive for cleanup and
could effect the mission adversely. Action to control corrosion or to repair
corrosion damage are among the most frequent reasons for performing maintenance
on shore and waterfront facilities |

Corrosion Control in Engineering Design -
Corrosion involves the reaction of a metallic material
with its environment and is a natural process in the sense that the metal is
attempting to revert to the chemically combined state in which it is almost
invariably found in the earth’s crust. Whilst it is, therefore, a process that
may be expected to occur, it should not be regarded as inevitable and its
control or prevention is possible through a variety of means. The latter have
their origins in electrochemistry, since the reactions involved in causing
corrosion are electrochemical in nature, but corrosion control is as much in the
hands of the engineering designer as it is the province of the corrosion
prevention specialist. To the engineer, corrosion may be regarded as resulting
in a variety of changes in the geometry of structures or components that
invariably lead, eventually, to a loss of engineering function e.g. general
wastage leading to decrease in section, pitting leading to perforation, cracking
leading to fracture. |
