Pre-consulting

So many of us have a quick question to ask for corrosion, but are afraid to employ a consultant, probably because of funds or the issues may not seem so big.


Hence, here is a form to help with primary questions before deciding to go ahead with consulting.


Fill in the form below and I will get back to you with a primary answer.

Important terms in API certifications - CRV & IOW - II

CRV can be understood by using a simple example of milk kept for boiling in a pot on a stove. The motive, i.e. the reliability of this process has two main factors - 1) The milk should boil. 2) It should remain the vessel and not overflow. There are three critical variables here - Temperature  Why is this a critical variable?  Answer: The melting point of milk is 92 degrees C. That is the optimum level. If temperature is too low (30 degrees C), the milk may not boil at all. If the temperature is too high (200 degrees C), it may burn quickly. Vessel dimension = volume of milk is 1 ltr Why is this a critical variable?  Answer:  Vessel volume < 1 ltr, milk will not fit in it in the first at all. Vessel volume = 1 ltr, milk will fit, but will overflow on boiling Vessel volume >1 ltr, milk will fit and not overflow. Time Why is this variable critical? If the other two variable are at the optimum level, then -  Too less time (~ 1 min), insufficient for milk to r...

Corrosion in daily life - Blistering

All of us corrosion people head out of the house to work on coatings. And yet, we leave so many types of coatings behind in our house. The most commonly seen commodity is an electric box with switches. Usually they are coated.  This is an example of such an electric box. It shows blisters formed in the white coating. Such blistering occurs when water penetrates the pores in the coating.  Usually such parts do not come under the 'critical' category. Hence, the coatings are not very thick. Moreover, there is no coating inspector involved during the application. As a result, they are prone to early degradation. However, their position plays an important role in determining this time frame. Those boxes present outside the hose are exposed to the heat and cold. Usually they will be in a shaded area. So, they may not face the rain directly. Some boxes are inside the house in rooms. Those face the least coating damage. The image above is from an electric box in a bathroom...

What is a Corrosion Loop - PART 1 - CONCEPT

Corrosion loop is used to simplify inspection procedures in refining processes. Corrosion loop is defined as a group of components with common materials, processes, and operating parameters.  Source: Rachman, A. and Ratnayake, R.M.C. (2020), "Corrosion loop development of oil and gas piping system based on machine learning and group technology method", Journal of Quality in Maintenance Engineering, Vol. 26 No. 3, pp. 349-368. https://doi.org/10.1108/JQME-07-2018-0058 It is needed when the scenario has - 1. Complex process 2. Several variables such a materials of construction, process parameters, functions 3.
