Mitigating Corrosion Under Insulation and Supporting the Longevity of Industrial Pipe Insulating Systems
Across the globe, millions of miles of metal pipes are buried underground. These essential lines carry various fluids ranging from water to oil and gas. However, buried pipelines face a constant threat: corrosion. Whether from the surrounding soil itself or from electric currents from nearby trains, power lines, and protective systems for other pipelines, many factors are a risk to pipelines. Several measures are usually employed to ensure the safe operation of these pipelines. The first line of defense is applying a protective coating; the second is a technique called cathodic protection. Ultimately, though, remote monitoring systems are needed as the third line of defense. And that’s what this report explores. Download it now to find out more about remote monitoring—where it’s been, where it is currently, and where it’s headed.
