Internal Corrosion Direct Assessment Principles
DOT's four-step process for Internal Corrosion Direct Assessment (ICDA) of gas pipelines is the subject of this new SI Webinar. The program covers pre-assessment, region identification, inspection, and post-assessment, with particular emphasis on the methodology for establishing representative flow conditions; interpretation of critical angle calculation; and elevation profiling. The Webinar also discusses how to use SI's guided-wave ultrasonic Guided Wave Testing (GWT) system to find internal corrosion.
