Summary
Various internal corrosion models are used to try to model corrosion in pipelines for internal corrosion direct assessment. These models are limited in scope and are unable to \deal with many of the most important and most rapid corrosion mechanisms in pipelines such as bacteria and pitting, and the beneficial effect of chemical treating. Further they rely on assumptions on the composition of the pipeline fluid, especially water properties and oxygen contamination. Monitoring techniques are available to measure corrosion in these systems which give actual conditions in a pipeline and provide far more realistic inputs for internal direct assessment that can reduce risk, and help avoid failures and misallocation of assets.
