Abstract: Traditionally natural gas pipelines have been relatively free of severe corrosion problems initiating on the inside surface. In the last few years this has been changing and severe internal corrosion has been found frequently in offshore pipelines. Some of this internal corrosion has been diagnosed as erosion-corrosion. Erosion corrosion can be detlned as a corrosion process which experiences an increase in attack because of the relative movement between the environment and the metal surface. In the case of the internal surface of a pipeline, the metal surface with its protective corrosion products is being continually bombarded by the abrasive constituents of the pipeline media. This results in removal of these corrosion products exposing fresh metal surface to the environment and erosion of the surface.
