... incidents that resulted in damage being found from inspection, leaks, ruptures, or fires. Application of Model 1 is relatively simple as factors such as applied loads are not considered at this stage. Stainless steel cladding/ weld overlay can reduce the effective hydrogen partial pressures and can...

...Abstract Due to increase in global energy demand, lot of LNG terminals are constructed worldwide. Once such terminal is being constructed in Kuwait which has the world’s largest capacity LNG storage tanks. Effective inspection is a challenge and required to increase operational reliability...

...Abstract Risk-based inspection is a business process and improvement tool to enhance asset performance as well as asset life. This paper intends to discuss risk-based coating inspection parameters to enhance coating/lining life and prevent and or mitigate the corrosion threat to assets. This paper...

... area with high current density (measured potential too negative). Abstract Inspection and monitoring of offshore structures and pipelines protected by cathodic protection (CP) are important factors in maintaining the integrity. As the offshore structures and pipelines get older, sacrificial anodes...

... inspection. In its quest to implement “innovation”, the industry also voluntarily introduced some technologies described in Table 1 , mostly on “trial and error” basis. During this period, failures leading to release of oil and gas to the environment were considered as normal “nuisance” occurrences...

...This paper addresses the issue of navigating an autonomous vehicle through a series of waypoints that are predetermined inspection points. These might be, for example, along a utility right-of-way, or inside a substation. The problem to be solved amounts to the inverse of the well-known coverage...

... compartment of monopiles raises some concerns about MIC at seabed. The cathodic protection (CP) being applied both outside and inside also involves certain challenges. In this respect, several new approaches for inspection and corrosion monitoring have been applied. The paper reviews specific corrosion risks...
