The first step was to carry out statistical and extreme value analysis of... Continue Reading

14) PREDICTION OF GENERALISED AND LOCALIZED CARBON STEEL CORROSION USING IMPROVED NORSOK AND PAPAVINASAM MODELS

Carbon steel corrosion is a commonly encountered issue in pipelines transporting hydrocarbons containing corrosive agents such as CO2, H2S and water. As a result, several corrosion prediction models have been put forward over the years although no standard model exists for corrosion prediction in the industry. Two of such models are the Norsok...
