Summary
This bulletin explains corrosion and erosion corrosion as mechanical-integrity concerns for process equipment and piping. It illustrates damage found during plant inspections and encourages personnel to recognise external and internal deterioration, follow up repairs, retain construction materials when replacing equipment, and understand their plant’s integrity programme.
Classifications: Corrosion; corrosion damage.
Classifications: Loss of containment; containment loss.
Classifications: Process safety; major accident hazards.
Classifications: Structural and asset integrity; asset integrity; structural integrity.
Classifications: Inspection and maintenance; asset inspection; equipment maintenance.
Classifications: Process pipework and pipelines; process piping.
Classifications: Downstream and process industries; refining; petrochemicals.
Summary
Beacon on corrosion and erosion of process equipment and piping as causes of loss of containment.
Process Safety Beacon January 2010. Themes: corrosion, inspection and maintenance, process safety, structural and asset integrity.
