Fretting is a type of wear damage that is caused by movement at the contact surfaces. Left unchecked fretting results in corrosion and material failure.

Chemical corrosion inhibitors are added to gas or potable water to decrease corrosivity, which is a measure of aggressiveness at corroding other materials.

Fatigue is the weakening of a material under repeatedly applied loads and can lead to material failure, just like corrosion.

APP’s ProTek Package fights pipe movement, abrasion and corrosion by using of advanced composite materials at critical points in the piping system.

VibraTek hold down clamp pipe supports restrain pipe movement in process piping systems, reduce fatigue and extend the life of components.

Corrosion is not always visible. Once this internal corrosion begins, decay rapidly spreads leading to structural failure and potential loss of life.

Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is a catastrophic form of corrosion that results from a combination of tensile stress and a corrosive environment.

Pipelines are one of the most common methods of transport for liquids and gases but require regular inspection to prevent corrosion and failure.

Crevice corrosion occurs at, or within, gaps between two metal surfaces due to a difference in concentration of compounds in a fluid system.

While the majority of metallic pipe supports are galvanized, there’s more than one form of galvanization. This blog post will demystify galvanization.
