AMPP Paper 16175-2021: Study of Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors

�� FREE PREVIEW (First 5 Pages) ✔ First 5 pages free to download · No email required · Full document available after purchase This paper investigates Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs) built into corrosion control covers, addressing the critical question of whether VCIs maintain their effectiveness throughout the cover’s lifespan. The study employs gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) testing to analyze new and used protective covers, providing data on corrosion inhibitor depletion. It examines the use of VCI covers in protecting military equipment, wind energy assets, and other high-value industrial goods. The research highlights the cost impact of corrosion on Department of Defense (DoD) assets and compares various corrosion prevention methods, including equipment covers, storage facilities, and contractor services. Key findings include a 19:1 return on investment (ROI) for covers with 90% corrosion protection efficiency. The first five pages of this paper are available for free preview.
