About the Course
Global annual cost of corrosion is estimated at US $ 2.5 trillion, equivalent to approximately 3.4 percent of global Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Time-tested and proven methodologies to control corrosion are corrosion inhibitors, coatings, cathodic protection, and materials. Corrosion inhibitors are the most effective strategies control internal corrosion of carbon steel pipelines and infrastructures of oil and gas industry. The global corrosion inhibitors market about USD 10 billion; oil and gas industry use about 90% corrosion inhibitors.
The general objective of the course is to educate students to properly to test, select, apply, and monitor corrosion inhibitors.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Identify types of inhibitors and inhibitor mechanisms

- Correlate field operating conditions and laboratory test conditions
- Recognize various laboratory methodologies to test corrosion inhibitors according to G170
- Perform tests using high shear stress tests including rotating cage (ASTM G184), rotating cylinder electrode (ASTM G185), jet impingement (ASTM G208), and flow loop
- Conduct tests using low shear stress tests including wheel test, static test, and rotating disc electrode (RDE)
- Evaluate secondary corrosion inhibitor properties including solubility, emulsion tendency, foaming tendency, partition coefficient, gunking, thermal stability, compatibility, toxicity, biodegradation, environmental friendliness (Green inhibitors), and bioaccumulation.
- Identify inhibitor interaction with other chemicals including biocides, foamers, defoamers, scale inhibitors, and dewaxing chemicals
- Grasp merits and demerits of various laboratory test methods
- Recognize the importance of knowing precision and bias of laboratory tests (ASTM G202)
- Select inhibitors based on laboratory test data for field application
- Apply appropriate corrosion inhibitors in the field
- Batch inhibitors and continuous corrosion inhibitors
- Water soluble and oil soluble corrosion inhibitors. Their advantages and disadvantages
- Corrosion inhibitors for gas systems

About the Instructors
Sankara Papavinasam, Ph.D., Fellow of NACE, Fellow of ASTM, is the president of CorrMagnet Consulting Inc. Over the past 25+ years, he has led several joint industry projects as well as individual client projects with more than 50 oil and gas companies globally and has developed solutions and insight to control internal and external corrosion.
He has developed corrosion inhibitors for various applications, led 5-year joint industry project on the correlation of corrosion inhibitor behavior between laboratory and field, was the primary author of six ASTM Standards on corrosion inhibitor evaluation, and coordinated two round robin tests on the evaluation of corrosion inhibitors).
He has authored the book, Corrosion Control in the Oil and Gas Industry and developed several software products. He has also appeared as subject matter expert before National Academy of Sciences Committee, Washington DC, USA and Canadian Senate Committee, Canadian Parliament, Ottawa, Canada on crude oil corrosivity.
About ASTM and Sponsoring Committee
ASTM is one of the world's largest voluntary standards development organizations. ASTM standards have grown to be among the world's most widely used and accepted documents. The 82-volume Annual Book of ASTM Standards contains over 13,000 standards written by 34,000 members on our 140 technical committees. These standards are widely used throughout the world as the basis of purchasing and other contracts, codes, laws and regulations.ASTM Committee G01 on Corrosion of Metals developed the standards used in this course.
