Compatibility Testing and Life Estimation of Non-Metallic Materials

September 9, 2018

The use of Non-Metallics Materials (elastomers, thermoplastics and thermosets, including composites) as either free standing engineering materials or barrier layers for protection of low alloy carbon steels is highly desirable. Their many attributes include high strength to weight ratio and excellent resistance to corrosive aqueous environments. However, they may be permeable to, and absorb, gases and liquids; be vulnerable to physical and chemical change in contact with produced fluids and treatment chemicals, which might render their short-term properties inadequate; be limited by the long-term effects of time, temperature and applied load (creep) and subject to long term ageing effects by thermal oxidation and hydrolysis etc.
