Provided is a measurement method for measuring a size of expansion of a surface treatment film occurred in a coated metal material that includes a metal base and the surface treatment film provided on the metal base. The measurement method includes the steps of disposing a water-containing material to be in contact with the expansion and an electrode to be in contact with the water-containing material, and electrically connecting between the electrode and the metal base with an external circuit; applying, with the external circuit, a constant voltage between the electrode and the metal base, as a cathode and an anode, respectively, and measuring a current value flowing therebetween; and calculating a size of the expansion, based on the current value measured and a correlation between the current value and the size of the expansion, the correlation being determined on an exploratory basis in advance.

Provided are a dissimilar metal welded body and a method of manufacturing the same, capable of preventing galvanic corrosion in a connection portion between dissimilar metals in the dissimilar metal welded body and of sufficient insulation coating being applied even when the insulation coating is applied to the dissimilar metal welded body. The dissimilar metal welded body includes a first member made of a metal containing aluminum as a main component, a second member made of a metal containing copper as a main component, a welded portion formed by pressure-welding an end face of the first member and an end face of the second member to each other, and a metal film that continuously covers a substantially entire part of the first member and at least a part of the second member. The metal film is a film made of a metal containing copper as a main component.

The present invention generally relates to compositions and methods for neutralizing acidic streams in an olefin or styrene production plant.

The corrosion laminate system (CLS) comprises cleaning the produced water (PW) storage tank through debris removal, wet blasting the tank, and drying the tank. The nozzle is inserted and sealed, leaving only the fiberglass portion of the nozzle in contact with the interior of the PW storage tank. The product for sealing the PW storage tank is then applied to the entire interior surface of the tank, the product is cured, and the PW storage tank can be used for storage.

The present invention relates to a method for reducing or preventing the formation or activity of a corrosion-associated biofilm on a metal surface, wherein the method comprises contacting the metal surface with a liquid composition comprising biocidal preparation. The present invention also relates to a microbicidal composition comprising at least one alcohol, one liquid hydrocarbon, a bacteriophage immobilized on a magnetic nanocomposite, at least one phage releasing reagent and one stabilizer. The microbicide composition and method of the present invention reduces biofilms on surfaces, and consequently, reduces, mitigates, or eliminates MIC in internal surface of the oil transporting pipelines.
