Corrosion Monitoring

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of corrosion monitoring principles, techniques, and industrial applications used to control and prevent corrosion-related damage. Participants will learn about different types of corrosion, their causes, mechanisms, and factors that influence corrosion rates in industrial equipment and systems. The course explains corrosion monitoring strategies for pipelines, pressure vessels, storage tanks, process equipment, and other critical assets. It covers commonly used monitoring techniques such as corrosion coupons, electrical resistance (ER) probes, linear polarization resistance (LPR), ultrasonic testing, and visual inspection. Participants will understand how to select suitable monitoring methods based on operating conditions and equipment requirements. The course also introduces data collection, corrosion rate calculation, trending, and interpretation of monitoring results. Attention is given to corrosion monitoring programs, inspection planning, and integration with corrosion control and maintenance activities. Participants will learn how environmental conditions such as temperature, pressure, pH, moisture, and chemical composition affect corrosion behavior. The course also discusses inhibitor monitoring, risk-based approaches, and early identification of corrosion threats. Practical examples and industrial case studies help participants apply corrosion monitoring concepts to improve equipment reliability, safety, and asset life.
