Corrosion Monitoring is a process that evaluates and monitors equipment components, structures, process units, and facilities for signs of corrosion. Monitoring programs aim to identify certain conditions to extend the life and serviceability of assets while increasing safety and reducing replacement costs. Corrosion monitoring covers all types of corrosion and materials.

Corrosion remains one of the biggest threats to the petroleum industry. Therefore, corrosion prevention is a primary concern especially in equipment such as flowlines, transportation pipelines, vessels, water systems, boilers, vacuum towers, cooling systems, amine systems, and crude oil systems. These systems are typically the most susceptible to producing corrosive environments.
