Submit AbstractCorrosion monitoring and testing is the primary step to identify the causes of failure of components, plants and equipments, which in some cases can be catastrophic. Monitoring and testing using different techniques help one to establish defects in materials right from the manufacturing stage to those that get created during operation/service stage. Early detection and sizing of corrosion degradation helps to assess the extent of damage, find out the root cause, take preventive actions and as a long term strategy integrate these into preventive maintenance schedules and plant safety management. This symposium covers all the monitoring and testing techniques e.g. non-destructive tests, online monitoring techniques and sensors and probes. Research & development on these techniques, case studies related to establishment of corrosion damage and/or its prediction, material selection and training of personnel for specific skill sets, remaining life assessment. Plant experiences related to corrosion monitoring and testing are welcome.
