Basic Corrosion for Noncorrosion Engineers April 12, 2009

DESIGNED FOR

* Anyone who needs to recognize corrosion and understand its devastating potential, especially as it relates to his or her area of responsibility, in any industrial, oil and gas production activity.
* Non Corrosion Engineers of any discipline.
* Technicians and Field Operators.
* Pipeline Cathodic Protection Inspectors.
* Anyone who involves in anti-corrosive chemicals purchasing and material handling.
* Other beginners who interested in.

PREREQUISITES

None. No previous training in corrosion control is required. However, to gain the most from this course, a basic understanding of science, chemistry and electricity will be helpful.
DESCRIPTION

The Basic Corrosion Course for Non Corrosion Engineers focuses on corrosion and the potential problems caused by corrosion. It provides a basic but thorough review of causes of corrosion and the method by which it can be identified, monitored, and controlled. Active participation is encouraged through case studies, examples, and an open discussion format.
