     Fundamentals of Metallic Corrosion: Atmospheric and Media Corrosion of Metals / P. Schweitzer ; P. Schweitzer, N. Fellow. - 2nd ed. - USA : CRC Press , 2007. - p.727 : ill. - ISBN 978-0-8493-8243-7

This book tells the thirty-year story of a corrosion/integrity engineer’s life experiences through Upstream Installations in the Oil and Gas Industry — corrosion and integrity issues, the manifestations of various forms of corrosion, considerations for assessing corrosion rates, and the application of available mitigation techniques. The installations that are covered in this journey include: downhole equipment; wellheads; flowlines (well lines); gathering lines; flow stations (primary separation stations); gas, oil and water treatment facilities; well injection. The journey concludes with a de-scrition of a Corrosion and Asset Integrity MANanagement (CAIMAN) System. The journey has ten (10) stops plus Section I. Section I is intended to provide the necessary background knowledge for readers to understand the descriptions and discussions presented in every stop through the trip. Section I is very concrete and summarized and presents: the basics of electrochemical corrosion, factor influencing corrosion and the forms of corrosion. Understanding corrosion is essential for selecting and maintaining equipment and structural components that will withstand environmental and process conditions effectively. Fundamentals of Metallic Corrosion focuses on the mechanisms of corrosion as well as the action of various corrodents on metals and their alloys. The book is tailored to support specialists studying corrosion in metallic materials or using metallic materials. Features: • Provides complete coverage of the science underlying corrosion in metals and alloys • Describes the different mechanisms of corrosion and identifies corrosion products • Classifies the corrosive effects of various indoor and outdoor pollutants • Provides compatibility data for each metal or alloy as well as references to further sources of compatibility data • Examines the corrosion resistance of various metals, particularly for those used for coatings
