�� FREE PREVIEW (First 5 Pages) ✔ First 5 pages free to download · No email required · Full document available after purchase This paper, presented at the AMPP 2021 Virtual Conference & Expo, details how failure analysis and root cause analysis (RCA) of corroded pipelines and piping systems can optimize corrosion mitigation costs. It explores the importance of proper sample handling and preservation for accurate diagnosis of corrosion mechanisms, and the increasing role of molecular microbiological methods (MMM) in identifying microbial influences. The paper also outlines a phased investigation approach – immediate cause, basic cause, and root cause – to prevent future incidents. The first five pages are available for free preview.
