Senior Corrosion Technologist

Explanation: Internal pipeline corrosion is often caused by microbial activity, particularly by


sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) that produce hydrogen sulfide, leading to localized corrosion.
96. Which of the following is the primary function of a corrosion inhibitor in a
pipeline system?
a) Enhance the flow rate of the fluid
b) Prevent scaling in the pipeline
c) Form a protective film on the metal surface
d) Neutralize acidic components in the fluid
Answer: c) Form a protective film on the metal surface
Explanation: Corrosion inhibitors work by forming a protective film on the metal surface,
preventing corrosive agents in the fluid from coming into direct contact with the metal,
thereby reducing corrosion.
97. Which property of inorganic materials is most critical when selecting a corrosion
inhibitor for use in a high-temperature environment?
a) Melting point
b) Electrical conductivity
c) Thermal stability
d) Density
Answer: c) Thermal stability
Explanation: In high-temperature environments, the thermal stability of the inorganic
material is crucial to ensure that the corrosion inhibitor remains effective and does not
degrade.
98. What is the main purpose of conducting corrosion testing in a pipeline
system?
a) To determine the pressure capacity of the pipeline
b) To assess the effectiveness of corrosion control measures
c) To calculate the flow rate of fluids in the pipeline
d) To evaluate the mechanical strength of the pipeline
Answer: b) To assess the effectiveness of corrosion control measures
Explanation: Corrosion testing is conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of corrosion
control measures such as inhibitors, coatings, and cathodic protection systems in preventing
or minimizing corrosion in the pipeline.
99. Which organic material property is most significant when selecting a coating for
pipeline corrosion protection?
a) Viscosity
b) Adhesion strength
c) Biodegradability
d) Optical clarity
Answer: b) Adhesion strength
