Rust staining refers to the occurrence of a paint defect that is due to the discoloration of an applied coating on a substrate. The discoloration occurs due to the accumulation of reddish colored iron oxide deposits. Such paints are applied to metal surfaces as protection against corrosion. View Full Term

Conventional pressure testing poses many risks to the pipeline, the environment and nearby workers. Ultrasonic inline inspection (ILI), on the other hand, is nondestructive, allowing pipe integrity to be assessed safely and economically.
A problem that civil engineers currently face is corrosion of the steel reinforcements commonly found in aging infrastructure. Recent research examines how corrosion affects the shear strength of construction materials such as reinforced concrete.
Benefits of ice pigging include reduced water use, shorter disruptions, less downtime, lower probability of pipe damage, and minimal environmental impact compared to conventional pigs and other pipeline cleaning methods.
