Supporting Corrosion Management with Forensic Engineering.

The article examines forensic engineering in supporting corrosion management. Regular analysis of operating and monitoring data, and investigation of damaged system components are ways to verify internal corrosion threats. It is stated that corrosion monitoring provides data about metal loss rate due to pipeline corrosion and not the corrosion mechanism. Forensic corrosion engineering focuses on physical and circumstantial evidence associated with material failures.
