Essay about The Importance of Corrosion Monitoring Technology

In this week’s article summary, the author explains the methods and processes for slow rust bluing. And some of the reasons one might choose this method for the bluing task that then needs to be completed.

It is important to note over time metal rust, and the constant pumping of crude oil through the pipelines will eventually overtime causes the pipes to rupture and break apart. Anything made by man is able to be destroyed, whether by man themselves or by nature.

The first pipelines were nothing special; they were short and sometimes made of wood. With their growing popularity into the 1860s, the quality control followed over the pipe manufacturing, switching from wrought iron to steal. (Pipeline 101, n.d.) Coming into the twenty-first century, the pipeline has still been playing a key role in the oil industry. Given, its importance to the oil industry it is important to understand how

Pipelines play such a big role in our lives which is why we as people rely on them for so many different things. Household products that we use on a daily basis such as aspirin, heart valves and crayons are some of the few items manufactured from crude oil. On the other hand there has been many events that have wrecked havoc on so many people

In this short paper I will cover my thoughts on the article provided for this week’s article summary, “Slow Rust Bluing: Science or Alchemy, American Gunsmith March 2009, by Dan Herman.” It’s not all that often that I’m eager to read one of these articles we’re given for article summaries. The bluing process interests me immensely, and I can’t wait to get to a point where I can re-blue a firearm to see how badly I do on my first job…lol.

In the wake of Flint’s water crisis it was realized that their aging pipeline infrastructure needed an extreme update. Flint is not the only CIKR catastrophe caused by being too tightly coupled, almost every community around the country has experienced some type of catastrophic infrastructure failure that has led to a “large-scale service interruptions, significant property damage, and human injury” as a result of being tightly coupled (Van Leuven, 2011, pp.40). A lot of the nation’s aging pipeline infrastructure is still in need of renovations or replacement because it has exceeded its planned operating life (Van Leuven, 2011, pp.40).

Pipelines are often viewed as a danger to the environment; this can be true as an oil spill can cause tremendous issues of toxicity and the death of wildlife. The companies who build pipelines are doing their best to ensure the safety of the wildlife and the environment. Preventative and safety efforts being made include leak detection systems and trenches that, if a leak were to occur, will keep oil from being carried away from the pipeline and contaminating the surrounding land (Congressional Digest, 2011). The United States has more than 2.4 million miles of energy pipeline; seventy-two thousand of which are crude oil lines used to supply oil to Americans (Kalen, 2012). Pipelines are something that already exist and

The program continuously searches for different types of failure including “corrosion, third party damage, weld vulnerability and earth movement damage” [6]( Lee et al. 3). This is to ensure the safety of society and to have a list of the pipeline segments which require a higher level of attention than others. In a similar fashion the Integrity Management Program has integrated the use of software such as the geographic information system (GIS) for their Gas Transmission Earthquake Plan and Response Procedure. GIS has the ability to map PG&E’s gas line infrastructure in real time with the likelihood of failure. With the use of GIS, a response algorithm is created that uses known parameters such as soil, geographic, and topographic conditions. Possible scenarios are then constructed to map potential hazards and anomalies to PG&E’s pipeline

Army Corps of Engineers is for the pipeline, and they would like to get the project finished because it is the safest and most technologically advanced pipeline in the world. Majority of the pipelines constructed in the United States is made out of low-carbon or low-alloy steel because they have more strength, ductile, and can be welded. The properties help the pipelines become more beneficial for the environment and can deliver the oil with no trouble. The problem with such a great structure is the amount of oil that is travelling through the pipeline every day. The pipelines can experience stress and can cause breaks throughout the low alloy steel, which lead to the incidents that damage the environment. The breaks should be closely monitored throughout the functioning of the pipeline, so the incidents can be prevented. The Dakota Access Pipeline should be stopped and the materials that have been invested should be distributed throughout the region to the pipes that need to be

Problems of Golmud geological corrosive, high altitude, and wind, must be realized by the system design department. Actually, on the basis of the geological prospecting report, some design institutes think, that there is no requirement to build some special anti-corrosion systems. However, according to the experience of supervision company in Qinghai, to be designed for anti-corrosion of the bracket and foundation is necessary, because of the erosion is enough heavy.

Electrochemical behavior and hydrogen evolution reaction of mild steel in sulfuric acid solutions, containing different concentrations of gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) as a green inhibitor have been investigated. The electrochemical techniques included Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The rate of both the corrosion reaction and the hydrogen evolution affected significantly by changing GABA concentrations. Polarization results showed that GABA is a mixed type inhibitor with good inhibition efficiency. Increasing the temperature led to an increase in the hydrogen evolution rate and a decrease in the total surface resistance value (RT) or the relative film thickness (1/CT) of the steel. Quantum calculation including EHOMO, ELUMO, the energy gap (?E) and the fraction of transferred electrons (?N) demonstrated the inhibition ability of GABA. The results were confirmed by surface examination using scanning electron microscopy. Adsorption of GABA on the steel surface fitted the Langmuir isotherm. Thermodynamic parameters

Corrosion performance of new anticorrosive pigments for corrosion protection of concrete reinforced bars exposed to marine environment

Therefore, in the case of pipeline industry, there are a number of impacts that the industry exposes to the environment as cases of spills may happen as well as destruction of the environment as the pipelines are laid (Even and Porter 2012). These impacts may be reduced and the sustainability of the projects may be

I would like to use this career episode report to demonstrate my ability to use appropriate engineering techniques and concepts to develop electronics engineering solution. I contributed to complete this project named “Design and Development of Petroleum Leakage Detection System” while studying my bachelor’s education that is Bachelor of Engineering specialized in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at American International University, Bangladesh.

During the thickness measurement of any corrode plate, Any material whose thickness is lower than the low limit of the probe due to corrosion of metal piece will cause Measurement errors. Sometimes the displayed reading is twice as big as the actual thickness. To prevent these
