Corrosion of pipelines is a natural process where metal deteriorates due to chemical reactions with its environment. This often occurs when pipelines transport substances like water, oil, or gas, leading to the formation of rust or other corrosive compounds. Factors such as moisture, temperature, and the presence of salts can accelerate this process, potentially causing leaks or failures. To prevent corrosion, various methods are employed, including protective coatings, cathodic protection, and regular maintenance. Monitoring systems can also detect early signs of corrosion, helping to ensure the integrity of the pipeline and the safety of the transported materials, such as natural gas or petroleum.
