Course Overview:
The emphasis of this course is on how to control internal corrosion in pipeline systems that includes understanding monitoring and mitigation techniques.
The participants will also be taught how to assess and locate internal corrosion especially by employing corrosion coupons, ultrasonic testing, electrical resistance probes, and microbiological testing.
It also deals with the wide range of corrosion and environmental factors and discusses the array of mitigation means that encompass chemical methods, maintenance programs, and facility planning attributes. Some critical inspection methods like visual, Automated Ultrasonic Testing (AUT), and Radiographic Testing (RT) are also discussed.
Targeted at personnel in charge of internal corrosion protection, the course equips participants with the necessary skills to undertake integrity checks and make proper choices on mitigation techniques to use.
Course Objectives:
