Corrosion is the destruction of a metal by a chemical or electro- chemical reaction within its environment. It is a costly and severe problem in the dling industry. Because tubular goods are mostly iron and most driling fluids are water-based, corrosion is inevitable. ‘To aid in providing corrosion protection, special chemicals may be adved to the fluid system. Pre-weighed corrosion rings are the most effective way of measuring the corrosivty of the driling fluid ‘ana the benefits of any treatment, Corrosion rings, made from ‘metal similar to that used to make dril pipe, are sized to fit into the relief groove in the tool joint box. After exposure in the system (usu ally for a minimum of 80 hours), the rings are retrieved, cleaned, and re-weighed to within .1 milligram, The weight loss is altriouted to corrosion and is calculated and reported as Ibityr or mils per year (MPY). For best results, rings should be re-weighed as soon as possible after removal from the system and may be returned 10 OFITE for weighing and analysis. OFITE inventories a complete selection of drill pipe corrosion rings to fit most sizes of drill pipe, land each ring size is listed in order of best fit Corrosion coupons (fiat and rod shaped) are mounted on the appropriate coupan holder and usually placed inside an aging cel bout sometimes directly inthe flow line at the rig site. Testing is, bbased upon the same principles as tne corrosion rings. A simple formula gives a corrosion rate per year. Because OFITE is an independent manufacturer, you never have to worry about how your orders are pri- oritized. When we receive your order, wo move fast.
