Bridges and viaducts of Brazil’s road network have for decades been the object of analyses by IPT, considering aspects such as characteristics of the structural project, workload capacity, traffic conditions, passage of super-heavy special loads, occurrence of pathologies and durability, etc. The purpose of these analyses is to evaluate the Read more…
Floating offshore production structures are normally subject to stresses and movements caused by the interaction of risers and umbilical pipes with waves and currents. Such parameters must be carefully foreseen in offshore projects. IPT evaluates the effects of thermal and hydrodynamic forces in risers and pipelines installed in the ocean, Read more…
IPT’s Corrosion and Protection Laboratory performs research and development work on corrosion and protection, acting in partnership with industry in the search for solutions to improve products and processes. Approximately 50 projects have been developed over the past four years, whose main clients are companies in the oil, petrochemical and Read more…
IPT gives support to external corrosion management of pipelines through research and development studies as well as technological services. Through the Laboratory for Corrosion and Protection (LCP), the Institute experienced a breakthrough in studies of the influence of the alternating current interference of cathodically protected pipelines. Together with Cenpes / Read more…
IPT has a huge experience in internal corrosion of pipelines through its Laboratory for Corrosion and Protection (LCP). This Laboratory is specialized in technological solutions for corrosion prevention and corrosion management of metallic materials, equipment and structures in many applications. As the demand increased, in 2006, IPT and Petrobras Read more…
IPT´s Laboratory for Corrosion and Protection (LCP) has a suitable infrastructure to develop laboratory and in-field corrosion research with biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, aiming at creating the necessary conditions for safe storage and inland and oversea transportation. The Lab also develops specific test methodologies for the study of Read more…
IPT’s Laboratory for Corrosion and Protection has a wide experience in corrosion by soils and in cathodic protection for buried and submerged structures such as water and sewage transportation pipelines as well as petroleum and its derivative transportation pipelines. The laboratory has an infrastructure and a trained staff to conduct Read more…
IPT´s Laboratory for Corrosion and Protection has pioneered studies of atmospheric corrosion in Brazil. The first study began in 1974 with the project "Studies of the behavior of metallic materials in different types of atmospheres" funded by PROMOCET – Program of Science and Technology of São Paulo State. This project Read more…
IPT\’s Laboratory for Corrosion and Protection has loops and autoclaves, to perform dynamic tests focused on studies related to internal corrosion of pipelines, reactors and storage tanks both at room temperature and pressure and at high temperature and pressure. This infrastructure, including Hastelloy-made and glass-made loops and autoclaves, allows performing Read more…
IPT´s Laboratory for Corrosion and Protection has modern equipment for electrochemical tests which includes potentiostats, frequency analyzers and zero resistance amperimeters for traditional measurements (polarization curves, impedance spectrocopy, RPL, electrochemical noise). The Lab is also supplied with equipment for localized electrochemical techniques such as: • Scanning Kelvin Probe – SKP: Read more…
