Intergranular Corrosion Testing: NDT & Pipe Inspection Explained

This video provides a comprehensive understanding of intergranular corrosion (IGC) testing, a critical NDT method in the process piping and EPC industry. Learn about aggressive environments, metallurgical tests, and the fundamentals of IGC, its causes (like chromium depletion and carbide precipitation in stainless steels), and how to prevent it. Explore various industry standards, focusing on ASTM A262, and dive into the five popular acid tests used for IGC identification, including oxalic acid, ferric sulfate-sulfuric acid, nitric acid, copper sulfate-sulfuric acid, and copper sulfate boiling tests. Understand their applications, test durations, and evaluation methods.
