A Brief Look at Content of Techniques for Corrosion Monitoring

The book begins with a review of corrosion fundamentals and provides a four-part comprehensive analysis of a wide range of methods for corrosion monitoring,

	SwRI is dedicated to applying a multidisciplinary approach to many aspects of corrosion, including prevention, detection, monitoring and mitigation.

practical applications, and case studies. Topics include the following.

Electrochemical Techniques for Corrosion Monitoring

• Polarization techniques

• Potentiometric methods

• Electrochemical noise and harmonic analyses

• Galvanic sensors

• Differential flow through cells

• Multielectrode systems

Physical or Chemical Methods of Corrosion Monitoring

• Gravimetric techniques

• Radioactive tracer

• Hydrogen permeation

• Electrical resistance

• Rotating cage techniques

• Nondestructive evaluation technologies to monitor corrosion

Corrosion Monitoring in Special Environments

	The range of special capabilities in corrosion is what makes Southwest Research Institute stand apart.

• Microbial systems

• Concrete and soil

• Remote monitoring

• Model predictions

Corrosion Monitoring Case Studies

• Engine exhaust systems

• Cooling water systems

• Pipelines

• Equipment in chemical plants

• Other real-world systems

	Corrosion detection and corrosion prediction can be viewed as different sides of the same coin.
