Corrosion Mapping: Remedial Engineering

This document discusses corrosion mapping techniques using ultrasonic technology to non-intrusively map material thicknesses. Conventional manual ultrasonic inspection measures wall thickness which is displayed graphically. Various instruments can analyze huge structures like pipelines and vessels. The M.C. Miller test method prepares concrete surfaces for potential mapping. Benefits include on-the-spot thickness results and reproducibility, with applications in pressure vessels, pipes, and storage tanks. Power and material penetrability pose limitations.

CORROSION MAPPING

REMEDIAL ENGINEERING

ABHISHEK.G.H
M-TECH(CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY)
INTRODUCTION:-

 Corrosion mapping is a non intrusive


technique which maps materials thickness
using ultrasonic technology.
 Variation in material thickness due to
corrosion can be identified and graphically
portrayed as an image format
Continue,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 Conventional manual ultrasonic inspection


is the most reliable technique for measuring
wall thickness.
 The measured wall thickness is read from
the ultrasonic device and reported.

-:M.C.MILLER TEST FOR CONCRETE
MAPPING:-

-:Preparation of test surface :-


 A. Use a measuring tape to lay out a grid of the
test location (typically) on four foot centers
covering the entire area which is to be tested.
 B. Mark each test location with the spray
paint.
 C. Remove all asphalt, waterproofed surface or
insulating films from each test location. This
requires only a spot about two inches square.
 D. All test points should be wetted with
electrical contact solution prior to testing,
and the location must still be damp at the
time of actual testing.
-:PROCEDURE:-

 1. Using the M.C. Miller concrete reference


electrode assembly, place the CuCuSO4
apparatus onto the concrete surface in an
area protected from foot and road traffic.
 2. Connect the reference cell to the reel of
test wire.
 3. Connected a test wire onto reinforced steel
site or metal component.
 4. Using the voltmeter, measure and record
the potential difference between the
reference cell and the reinforced steel or
metal component.
 5. With the reference cell assembly location
unchanged, repeat the procedure.
 6. Repeat as necessary to obtain sufficient
data.
-:TYPICAL CONCRETE SLAB WITH
REINFORCEMENT (REBAR):-
-:BENEFITS:-

 Thin locations are reproduced directly in


color, on-the-spot results.
 Indications can easily be measured, both in
surface and in form.
 High degree of reproducibility.
 No ionizing radiation with regard to the
taking of on-stream pictures.
 No disruption of other activities.
 Data, a constant C-scan, are digitally stored
and saved.
-: APPLICATIONS :-

 Pressure Vessels and Systems.


 Pipework (T-joints , elbow joints)
 Reactors.
 Storage Tanks.
-:LIMITATIONS:-

 110V - 240V Power Required.


 Material to be Inspected must be Penetrable
by Ultrasonic Sound Waves.
 Surface must be Clean & Free from Loose
Material, Rust etc.
-:CONCLUSION:-

 The techniques is widely used in oil and gas


industries for inservice detection and
characteristics of corrosion in pipes and
vessels.
 The data is stored on a computer and may be
color coded to show difference in thickness
readings.
 Corrosion may be mapped using zero degree
ultrasonic probes,an eddy current array and
or tiome of flight detection methods.
