Why Internal Corrosion Monitoring? Corrosion Management Correlate process parameters with measured corrosion Monitor (change in) corosivity of pipeline fluids Control of corrosion mitigation/inhibitors High resolution and fast response required from the sensor. Integrity management and safety verification Risk of unexpected failure and accidents Avoid loss of containment Optimize (risk based) inspection programs and planned maintenance Reliable wall thickness measurements over time required, high resolution/fast response less important. 27-Jun-01, Slide 7
