Corrosion Resistant Alloys In Oil And Gas Production

This book addresses the selection and qualification of corrosion resistant alloys for use in oil and gas field production facilities that handle raw and partly processed reservoir fluids at, and below, reservoir temperatures.

A revised and updated set of guidelines applicable to stainless steels, nickel alloys and titanium alloys covering: SSC/SCC test procedures; reference environments for SSC and SCC testing; guidance on autoclave testing of CRAs; procedures for testing CRAs exposed to sulphur and H2S.

Corrosion Resistant Alloys for Oil and Gas Production: Guidance on General Requirements and Test Methods for H2S Service, Volume 69, proposes test methods for assessing the environmental cracking resistance of Corrosion Resistant Alloys (CRAs) and provides a standard methodology for establishing the environmental cracking resistance of CRAs in H2S service. This revised volume discusses changes to the procedure for stress loading Bent Beam specimens, C-ring specimens, ISO 15156/NACE MR0175, and associated corrigenda. Includes procedures and background knowledge on H2S cracking tests Presents a discussion of H2S related cracking in corrosion resistant alloys Proposes test methods for assessing the environmental cracking resistance of CRAs Provides extensive background information relating to the use of CRAs in oil and gas production Includes a more accurate formula for calculating the strain to be applied for loading four point bend or "C" ring samples prior to testing
