Corrosion Mapping & Management

MAC Safety Corrosion Mapping & Management services use ultrasonic thickness surveys, guided wave testing, and predictive modeling to assess pipeline, vessel, and structural integrity — identifying active corrosion mechanisms and forecasting remaining equipment life for maintenance planning.

Corrosion is the leading cause of equipment failure in process, pipeline, and power generation operations — and it progresses silently between periodic inspections. MAC Safety's corrosion mapping services use automated ultrasonic scanning (AUT), phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT), guided wave testing (GWT), and manual thickness surveys to create detailed corrosion maps that identify active degradation mechanisms, measure wall loss rates, and forecast remaining equipment life.

Corrosion mapping deliverables include C-scan thickness maps, corrosion rate calculations, remaining life estimates, and fitness-for-service assessments per API 579/ASME FFS-1. MAC Safety's corrosion engineers analyze results in the context of process conditions, metallurgy, and operating history to identify the root cause of corrosion — internal vs. external, general vs. localized, process-related vs. environmental — and recommend mitigation strategies that address causes rather than just symptoms.

Corrosion data feeds into the NIXN platform, building equipment-level degradation profiles that support risk-based inspection programs and capital planning. When combined with IoT sensor monitoring for environmental conditions and non-destructive testing for flaw detection, corrosion mapping provides the quantitative integrity data that operations managers need to make run-repair-replace decisions based on evidence rather than conservative assumptions.
