SCOPE OF THE STUDY

Qualification for specification is limited to ASTM, ASME, NACE, ANSI and API standard and codes, This implies that the presentation of the research outcome shall conform to international and  professional recommendations for effective correlation acceptance and approval codes.This implies that the research confirmation  will be affected to fabrication, welding and selection of material for engineering design. The research would be limited to the test analysis of welds and parent metal reaction on sulphur reducing bacterial (SRB),critical crevice temperature (CCT) and critical pitting temperature (CPT) and preferential weld corrosion. Correlation data for welded steel will enable adequate provision of standard systems of serviceability factors.
