Eva Coronado was originally appointed as Vice Chair of NACE’s Task Group 085 in 2015 and is working with a number of her peers to revise the TM0177 Standard, “Laboratory Testing of Metals for Resistance to Sulfide Stress Cracking and Stress Corrosion Cracking in H2S Environments.” NACE International is the industry’s leading authority for corrosion control solutions, with the standard governing applications of test methods in sulfide stress corrosion cracking used in the Oil & Gas industry.
Rod Martin, Element’s Executive Vice President, Oil & Gas, comments: “Element’s Engaged Experts are central to the shaping of new and emerging industry standards and accreditations to support the consistent application of test methods within sour-service testing. Eva in particular has played a key role in driving through the latest development of this standards project, demonstrating not only her considerable technical expertise, but also her ability to bring together multiple industry partners to drive the creation of these critically important standards for the Oil & Gas industry. “We look forward to continued innovation from Eva and her team at Element Houston in the application of these critical test methods to new applications, as well as continued collaboration with NACE and other corrosion industry partners.”
The latest version of the TM0177 Standard, “Laboratory Testing of Metals for Resistance to Sulfide Stress Cracking and Stress Corrosion Cracking in H2S Environments”, was significantly revised, reflecting the large-scale advances in the sour-service testing over the last decade.
In addition to leading sour-service capabilities, Element Houston provides testing in Fracture Mechanics, Engineering Critical Assessment (ECA) and NDT services across a broad range of metal alloys, thermoplastics, composites and elastomers. Clients benefit from the location’s on-site machine shop, allowing for the machining of samples, thereby reducing turnaround times and increasing quality control.
The close partnership between Element and NACE will see industry leaders attend the jointly-organized Oilfield Engineering with Polymers global conference in London, UK on the 25th October 2016.
