Abstract This paper reviews one of the test methods applied the proactive investigation of a pipeline with a potentially corrosive environment. This pipeline is located in an area of high consequence if there is a leak or failure. A 36” crude oil dock line was investigated for potential internal corrosion issues using a single pass low point simulator. The corrosion monitoring techniques and the results gathered during this test are presented. The purpose of this paper is to present a methodical and logical approach to investigating a pipeline in a potentially corrosive environment.
