MM-435_Corrosion Degradation and Protection 2

Experimental Methods for Corrosion Testing/Monitoring/Determination

Objectives:

I. To determine the best material for a typical requirement

II. To predict the portable service life of a metal component or
structure
III. To evaluate the new alloy and processes for commercial
operation/utilization
IV. To develop materials with improved corrosion resistance
V. To control the quality and allow acceptance after meeting the
specifications
VI. To evaluate and regulate environmental variations at controls
(inhibitors etc.)
VII. To study the corrosion mechanism

Types of Corrosion Tests:

Corrosion tests can be classified into two categories:

1) Laboratory Tests: Produce conditions close to plant or service conditions

They may be sub-divided into:

❑ Simulated Services Tests or Long Term Tests
❑ Accelerated Tests or Short Term Tests

2) In- service TestsCarried out in actual process streams or natural environments

These may be sub-divided into:
❑ Plant Tests
❑ Field Tests
