Corrosion Risk Assessment Studies

Corrosion Risk Assessment Study (CRAS)

A Corrosion Risk Assessment Study (CRAS) is performed to determine the damage mechanisms and determine the probability, CRAS forms a critical input to Risk Based Inspection (RBI) and Asset Integrity Management Systems by supporting inspection strategy and effectiveness establishing baseline corrosion assumptions, outcome, and overall risk. The resulting risks are the basis for developing and updating online mitigation measures and monitoring programs.

Under the guidance of industry experts, including consultants and senior engineers, Cormat uses a comprehensive and structured approach in accordance with industry guidelines such as API 580, 581, API 571 and NACE standards such as NACE MR0175 / ISO15156 – to identify potential damage mechanisms and to assign POF. For COF calculation, client specific risk matrix is usually used. CRAS can be fully qualitative as well a semi quantitative. By evaluating current operating conditions for failure probability and outcome, CORMAT provides its customers with unique insight into the condition of each asset.
