Corrosion mapping is an advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) technique used to assess the extent and severity of corrosion in metallic structures and components. This method involves the use of specialized equipment to scan the surface of a structure and create a detailed map of corrosion damage, allowing for accurate assessment and proactive maintenance measures.
Applications of Corrosion Mapping :
Oil and Gas Industry: Corrosion mapping is extensively used in the oil and gas sector for inspecting pipelines, storage tanks, pressure vessels, and offshore structures. It helps identify areas of corrosion and erosion, allowing operators to prioritize maintenance activities and prevent leaks or failures that could lead to environmental damage and production losses.
