Addressing AC-Induced Pipeline Corrosion
What is AC Interference?
Unraveling the Impact on Pipeline Integrity
AC interference arises when pipelines and power lines intersect, leading to potential safety hazards for personnel and integrity risks due to AC corrosion. With pipelines and electrical transmission lines often sharing right-of-ways (ROW), the prevalence of AC interference has surged, necessitating a strategic response to safeguard pipeline integrity
Understanding AC interference is crucial in mitigating its impact on pipeline health. At Corrosion Technologies, we simplify this complex phenomenon to provide insights crucial for effective mitigation strategies. From understanding coupling intricacies to assessing implications for pipeline integrity, this section outlines key aspects of AC interference.
