FeDDI is an instrumental approach developed by Ayalytical to solve the difficulties in rating NACE TM01721 and D665 specimens accurately.
FeDDI eliminates user bias and provides repeatable results using its four-step automated vision algorithm and classification process.
FeDDI provides quantification of corrosion after scanning the specimen’s entire surface area.
FeDDI replaces the inherently difficult visual quantification referenced in NACE TM0172 and ASTM D665 with a completely automated method.
Corrosion on steel pipelines and tanks can lead to damaging leaks that can cost millions to fix and cause irreversible environmental damage.
To minimise the impact of damage due to corrosion, industries spend billions each year on corrosion detection and reduce speed of natural corrosion process. The National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) indicates that small amounts of water, air, and polar compounds are some of the biggest threats to petroleum pipeline corrosion. NACE carefully monitors levels of corrosion by testing the interior of pipes for these substances.
The NACE corrosion detection system depends on a manual rating process in which the operator must quantify small percentages of corrosion by visually inspecting a test specimen immersed in a mixture of test fuel and distilled water. This method is highly susceptible to operator error. In addition, due to differences in visual acuity, results are not repeatable.
