Metal components in industrial fluid systems often have to operate in harsh conditions. If left unchecked, adverse conditions can trigger and aggravate the corrosion of these components and cause physical and financial harm to an operation. In metal tubing, for example, the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) estimates the profit loss to offshore and nearshore operations from corrosion is more than $1 billion per year.
Recognizing corrosion early and addressing the root causes can help mitigate the worst damage, before repair and replacement costs accumulate. It is imperative that facilities ensure their technicians can identify the most common types of corrosion quickly, and understand what actions to take. Technicians can often take simple actions to remediate the damage if they know what to look for.
