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.

Sampling Sulfuric Acid

whitePaper | May 6, 2021

While grab sampling in an industrial setting may represent a tiny fraction of a plant’s overall activities, its importance cannot be underestimated. Unfortunately, sometimes the focus on sampling improvements only becomes critical after an incident, an accident or equipment failure. Sampling is an integral part of the manufacturing process, and a safe and reliable sampling regime can improve: Safety, Industrial Hygiene, Sample Quality, A plant’s bottom line.
