Corrosion Monitoring Technology Is Patented

Houston’s InterCorr International, a corrosion engineering and technology company, is working to introduce a new corrosion management technology. The company reports that a new patent has been granted (US Application 09/202193) to InterCorr for “Assessment of Corrosion.” The patent covers various aspects of corrosion assessment, the most fascinating of which includes the ability to automatically determine the corrosion mechanism without the need to rip open the pipe or vessel for inspection. Elements of the new technology are incorporated within InterCorr’s latest corrosion monitoring product, SmartCETTM.
