(Click the back button to return to the List of Courses)

Course Level:

Course Description:  An in-depth study of internal corrosion found in oil and gas wells, pipelines, refineries, process plants, and other industrial installations including the common forms of nondestructive testing, internal corrosion monitoring techniques, and chemical corrosion treatment methods.

Learning Outcomes:  Demonstrate a knowledge of the principles and forms of internal corrosion; demonstrate the ability to operate, calibrate, and maintain all common internal corrosion testing equipment; perform common gas, liquid, and solid analysis; and analyze corrosion rates by examining liquid, solid, and gas analysis reports.

Demonstrate a knowledge of internal corrosion mitigation methods appropriate to specific corrosion problems; demonstrate work habits which include safety, cleanliness, efficiency, quality of work, and respect for expensive instrumentation; and calculate corrosion rates and scaling tendencies. Apply the principles of corrosion to design, operate, and maintain corrosion control systems within the guidelines of a budget.
