LIFE PREDICTION OF POLYMERS FOR THE OIL & GAS INDUSTRY

October 10, 2017

As the service conditions in the oil and gas industry become increasingly more demanding, there is a greater need to demonstrate that the materials selected are fit for service. This is particularly important for polymeric materials as their properties are time and temperature dependent and can be significantly affected by the fluids they come into contact with. To predict life, accelerated laboratory tests can be carried out based on the service conditions the component will experience. These short-term aging tests are most suited to rank different polymers for their susceptibility to chemical attack or change in properties.
