What are the different types of pipeline corrosion and how do they impact pipeline integrity? What methods are effective for corrosion control in pipelines? How can professionals effectively manage pipeline corrosion in their roles?
This introductory self-paced course provides a foundational understanding of pipeline corrosion, essential for maintaining the integrity and safety of pipeline infrastructure.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles of pipeline corrosion, including defining corrosion and its impact on pipelines, explaining corrosion cells and their role, and identifying various types of pipeline corrosion. Additionally, the course covers corrosion control methods, the oxidation/reduction process in corrosion, and differentiates between conventional, ionic, and electron flow in corrosion.
Learners will also describe polarization and its effects, interpret the Galvanic Series for material selection, and analyze the causes of pipeline corrosion. This course equips participants with the essential knowledge to effectively address and manage pipeline corrosion in their professional roles.
