Method and system for evaluating corrosion loss

Abstract:

A method, system and computer program product are provided in order to evaluate corrosion loss and to establish maintenance actions based thereupon. In the context of a method, a structure is inspected to generate corrosion information and a corrosion model of the structure is generated based upon the corrosion information. The method also includes generating a combined corrosion model based upon the corrosion model and a baseline model of the structure including material types and thicknesses at respective locations on the structure. The method further includes establishing maintenance actions including modification of an inspection interval based upon the combined corrosion model. Corresponding systems and computer program products are also provided.
