Summary:

This publication provides general principles and engineering guidance for the management of external corrosion and degradation of stainless steels in the offshore oil and gas environment. Some of the principles may also have relevance to onshore facilities. Stainless steels (SS) are used widely within the oil and gas industry and they are selected primarily on account of their resistance to corrosion and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) from the process environment. However, the external environments to which equipment is exposed at offshore and coastal locations can be aggressive and cause corrosion and SCC of most grades of stainless steels. The aims of this publication are to provide guidelines for the selection of stainless steels for resistance to external corrosion, for coating options to provide protection to stainless steels that are at risk from external corrosion in the marine atmosphere and to aid risk assessments for stainless steels already in service. Submerged service in seawater is not addressed in this document.
