Inspection of Coatings

The expected service life of a corrosion protection system represents the economic value developed for the system (which sometimes exceeds 20% of the total project value), by providing an asset (e.g. structure, bridge, power plant, tank, etc.) with corrosion protection. The selection of a particular corrosion protection system is typically a function of economic, operational, environmental and safety issues.

Inspection during the installation of a corrosion protection system serves as a tool to ensure that the installed system is within its design parameters. The focus of industry efforts regarding practices, standards (NACE, SSPC, ASTM), and training has been primarily directed toward this mission.
