n: a method of joining steel components in which acetylene gas and oxygen are mixed in a torch to attain the high temperatures necessary for welding. As an early type of welding (it was also called oxyacetylene welding),its primary disadvantage was the seepage of molten weld material onto the interior surface of the pipe, often leading to corrosion problems.

n: a gas that forms an acid when mixed with water. In petroleum production and processing, the most common acid gases are hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide. Both cause corrosion, and hydrogen sulphide is very poisonous.

n: The mixture made by gas and water presents acidity. The gas is acid gas. The usual acid gases are hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide in oil and gas drilling. Both of them are acrid and hydrogen sulphide is very toxic.


any produced gas, primarily H2S and CO2 that form an acid when produced in water.

acid corrosion inhibitor. Slows the acid attack on metal.

v: to treat oil-bearing limestone or other formations with acid for the purpose of increasing production. Hydrochloric or other acid is injected into the formation under pressure. The acid etches the rock, enlarging the pore spaces and passages through which the reservoir fluids flow. Acid also removes formation damage by dissolving material plugging the rock surrounding the wellbore. The acid is held under pressure for a period of time and then pumped out, after which the well is swabbed and put back into production. Chemical inhibitors combined with the acid prevent corrosion of the pipe. acid recovery plant n: plant for therecovery of sulfuric acid from acid sludge.

A corrosion state where a metal is corroding without control by a reaction product (or corrosion product layer).

n pi: bacteria that require free oxygen for their life processes. Aerobic bacteria can produce slime or scum, which accumulates on metal surfaces, causing oxygen-concentration cell corrosion.

n: 1. one of two electrodes in an electrolytic cell;represented as the negative terminal of the cell, it is the area from which electrons flow. In a primary cell, it is the electrode that is wasted or eaten away. 2. in cathodic protection systems, an electrode to which a positive potential of electricity is applied, or a sacrificial anode, which protects a structure by forming one electrode of an electric cell.

the positively charged site in a cell. Oxidation site. The site of metal loss in corrosion.

the ratio of the mass loss of actual corrosion of an anode to the theoretical corrosion mass loss calculated from the quantity of electricity that has passed between the anode and the cathode using Faraday’s law (from NACE).

polarization to a higher oxidizing potential to achieve a reduced corrosion rate (promotes passivity).

oxide coating of a metal surface to reduce corrosion.
