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
