Proceedings Of Corrosion 99 Research Topical Symposium

These 22 contributions concentrate primarily on newer applications of the staple EIS technique, and secondarily, on the more recent use of ENA in corrosion research. Papers treat experimental aspects of EIS and data analysis; EIS for investigating the protective properties and degradation of polymer coatings; and EIS in combination with other techniques to study specific corrosion phenomena, e.g., the corrosive rates of steel in soil environments. Mansfeld (U. of Southern California), et al., describe the use of both techniques to monitor the corrosion behavior of active and passive systems exposed to chloride media. The volume includes facts about the Electrochemical Society. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.

A comprehensive and detailed reference guide on the integrity and safety of oil and gas pipelines, both onshore and offshore Covers a wide variety of topics, including design, pipe manufacture, pipeline welding, human factors, residual stresses, mechanical damage, fracture and corrosion, protection, inspection and monitoring, pipeline cleaning, direct assessment, repair, risk management, and abandonment Links modern and vintage practices to help integrity engineers better understand their system and apply up-to-date technology to older infrastructure Includes case histories with examples of solutions to complex problems related to pipeline integrity Includes chapters on stress-based and strain-based design, the latter being a novel type of design that has only recently been investigated by designer firms and regulators Provides information to help those who are responsible to establish procedures for ensuring pipeline integrity and safety
