About Corrosion
Corrosion costs (general):
• 276 billion USD per year for total direct cost of corrosion in theUnited States; equivalent to 3.1% of GDP.
(Source: NACE – The Worldwide Corrosion Authority.)
• Corrosion cost to the UK is about 4% of GDP
(Source: Institute of Corrosion, ICorr, U.K.)
5
Corrosion costs (Oil and Gas industry):
• 7 billion USD per year for gas and liquid transmission pipelines.
• 1.4 billion USD per year for oil and gas exploration production.
About Corrosion
Consequences of Corrosion:
• Loss of mechanical strength andstructural failure or breakdown
• Hazards or injuries to people
• Environmental impact due to leakagefrom vessels and pipes
• Loss of time in availability of industrialequipment
• Reputational damage
6
Why Corrosion Takes Place?
• Corrosion is the deterioration of a substance, usually a metal, or its properties because of a reaction with its environment. (Source: National Association of Corrosion Engineers )
• Physicochemical interaction between a metal and its environment which results in changes in the properties of the metal and which may often lead to impairment of the function of the metal, the environment, or the technical system of which these form a part. (ISO 8044)

CPD refers to the process of tracking and documenting the skills,knowledge and experience that you gain both formally and informally in order to help you in your professional career progression.
– Self-study– Work experience
– professional mentoring of colleagues or others– Academic study – Training courses– Events and seminar
CPD Requirements for Chartered Engineers in UKAll Engineering Council registrants make a commitment to maintain and enhance their competence. In practice, this means undertaking Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
– Chartered Scientist or – Chartered Engineer
The Institute of Corrosion has developed a mentoring program to assist its members to achieve their Chartered Status.

DNV (Various) 2 Key Areas of RBI:
Paper 1 - PSVs are classed as safety critical when protecting
hydrocarbon containing equipment and, even on non-
hazardous services are always safety related. Pressure Safety
Valve RBI will be discussed using Half a Billion Hours of Data.
Paper 2 - For FPSO cargo tanks the main degradation threats
are fatigue cracking and corrosion / coating degradation. This
presentation gives an overview of DNV GL methods for carrying
out an RBI assessment for each of these threats and how they
may be used to develop an optimized inspection schedule.
