Corrosion Control

In the demanding world of oil and gas infrastructure, preserving the integrity of pipelines and equipment is paramount. At Kiefner, we employ the ultrasonic corrosion monitoring technique, a non-intrusive method adept at mapping material thickness with unparalleled precision. This advanced methodology is essential not only for detecting the initial signs of degradation but also for […]

External Corrosion Direct Assessment (ECDA) is a structured process to assess and reduce the impact of external corrosion on pipelines. As pipelines age, ensuring their integrity against external corrosion becomes increasingly vital for safe and efficient operation. Kiefner, with its extensive expertise in the pipeline industry, provides comprehensive engineering services to support ECDA programs tailored

Corrosion is a universal challenge that spans across various industries, from transportation and construction to energy and manufacturing. Understanding its progression is essential for ensuring the reliability, safety, and longevity of infrastructures made from metals and alloys. Understanding Corrosion Growth Rates: Corrosion growth rate signifies the pace at which metal degradation occurs on an exposed

Cathodic protection (CP) is a crucial strategy in the prevention of corrosion for pipelines that transport gas and liquids. As a specialized protective measure, it plays a pivotal role in extending the operational life and safety of pipeline systems. Recognizing the importance of this technique, Kiefner offers a comprehensive suite of engineering services tailored to

Alternating Current (AC) interference on gas and liquid pipelines can pose significant safety risks and potentially accelerate the corrosion process. The presence of AC in close proximity to pipelines, mainly from overhead power lines or adjacent electrified rail systems, can adversely affect the pipeline’s integrity and the safety of its surroundings. With a rich history
