In various industries, the integrity and reliability of infrastructure are critical for safe and efficient operations. Over time, equipment and structures may experience degradation, corrosion, or mechanical damage that necessitate repair. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has developed the PCC-2 (Post Construction Committee) standard, which provides guidelines for non-metallic repairs. This essay explores […]
In the processes that are carried out, both in refineries and in chemical plants, to obtain different products, we can verify the formation of a multitude of reactions that are necessary to achieve the proposed objectives. The main objective of these process reactions is to obtain a final product free of all types of contaminants […]
Firstly, it is necessary to mention that in appearance purely theoretical aspects of corrosion (e.g. potential difference between anode and cathode, need for a complete electrical circuit, electrodes area, etc.) are of high importance in practice due to the professional involved will have an idea about what methods to take into account in order to […]
It can be said that corrosion affecting materials is a harmful effect that appears in the different sectors of the industry. Therefore, it is convenient to know this phenomenon in order to avoid it as much as possible. Firstly, we should use a classic definition about corrosion in which it is established as the degradation […]
It is well-known that for equipment and components design that will be operated in industrial plants, all involved people must take into account all phenomena that could cause failures. The main reason for that is people safety and integrity that work at the plant and all people that could be affected by a hypothetical failure. […]
