Certain molecules of iron, when juxtaposed, have been found by researchers to cause microscopic holes in steel pipe used for oil transport. This hidden, localized corrosion causes oil pipes to rust ...

New field-proven automated electrochemical monitoring technology provides a means for evaluating corrosion and pitting in petroleum piping, making corrosion a real-time process variable. A broad range ...

Experienced boiler operators know that oxygen can cause localized, severe corrosion in steam boiler systems through a process called oxygen pitting. This occurs when dissolved oxygen in the water ...

U.S. power producers and owners of industrial steam systems each spend about $15.4 billion annually to combat corrosion in their plants. Scale and deposits are thought to be responsible for another ...

The annual cost of degradation of materials and infrastructure in the oil transport and refining industry caused by corrosion is roughly $8 billion. Fast and accurate imaging and quantifying ...

A large variety of spent fuels from research reactors around the world are currently stored underwater in basins. Most of this fuel is clad in aluminium based alloys that are susceptible to corrosion ...

After installing LineVue, Nebraska Pubic Power District linemen watch as the device inspects the self-damping conductor. Is there a correlation between compression connectors — a two-stage ...

A process which involves deterioration or degradation of metal is referred to as corrosion. The most typical example of corrosion is the degradation of alloys or metals. Usually, corrosion phenomena ...

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was yesterday informed by Japan’s Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), operator of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS), that localized ...
