The comprehensive reference on modern techniques and methods for
monitoring and inspecting corrosion
Strategic corrosion inspection and monitoring can improve asset
management and life cycle assessment and optimize operational
budgets. Advances in computer technologies and electronics have led
to very efficient tools for monitoring and inspecting corrosion,
including impedance spectroscopy, electrical field signatures,
acoustic emissions, and radiographs. This up-to-date reference
explains both intrusive and non-intrusive methods of measuring
corrosion rates. It covers:
* The impact of corrosion on the economy and the safe operation
of systems in diverse operational environments
* The various forms of corrosion, with a focus on the
detectability of corrosion damage in the real world
* The principles of risk-based inspection and various risk
assessment methodologies (HAZOP, FMECA, FTA, and ETA), with
examples from industry
* The monitoring of microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC),
cathodic protection (CP) systems, and atmospheric corrosion
* Non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques, including visual,
ultrasonic, radiographic, electromagnetic, and thermographic
inspection
* Roadmaps used by various industries and organizations for
carrying out complex inspection and monitoring schedules
Complete with graphics and illustrations, this is the definitive
reference for professionals involved in the maintenance of
industrial systems and structures, from oil exploration to chemical
plants and infrastructures; consultants; property managers; and
civil, materials, and construction engineers.

Mengenai Pengarang
PIERRE R. ROBERGE, Ph D, a full professor at the Royal
Military College of Canada, has conducted research on the
development of accelerated tests for the characterization of the
corrosion resistance of metallic materials, the performance of
materials in service, and the production of energy with
electrochemical power sources. He is the author of numerous
articles and papers and three books on corrosion engineering and
testing.
