Measuring Chemical Composition Of Pipeline Steel Using Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) Technology

Measuring Pipeline Chemical Composition Using Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) Technology
Available for download

LIBS is a type of optical emission spectroscopy used to measure elemental concentrations in a material.  LIBS operates by using a pulsed, focused laser that is fired at a sample with sufficient pulse energy as to create a plasma around the area struck. Bound atomic electrons are stripped from the atoms comprising the material.  As the plasma cools, atoms recombine with electrons and in the process emit light in the UV, optical and IR regimes.

Recent PHMSA safety rules governing the operation of gas pipelines require operators to ensure material records are 100% traceable, verifiable, and complete (TVC) within the guidelines for the Pipeline Material Verification process defined under 192.607. Testing for chemical composition is a critical input where records are incomplete and while performing grade estimations for MAOP reconfirmation.   

Emerging non-destructive technology using portable handheld laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for in-situ analyses offers one NDE methodology for assessing pipeline steel composition. The LIBS technology will be presented including performance for carbon, carbon equivalency in addition to the concentrations of microalloying elements that may be present in the sample.

Safe and stable operation of the process plant through its life cycle is an ultimate target of any integrity management system. Over the last decades, a number of possible ways and systems for managing plant integrity were described and implemented.1-4 A common path for all those efforts was to control and manage corrosion processes in a more-or-less systematic way by applying certain measures (monitoring techniques, material selection guidelines, operating procedures etc.) and performance indicators (remaining time-to-failure, inhibitor usage etc.). An effective corrosion and integrity management system, in theory, should be capable to “uncover” excessive corrosion incidents before serious damage occurs. Unfortunately, unexpected corrosion-related failures are still occurring in the petroleum industry.5 This situation stems predominantly from relatively poor data organization and management, leaving corrosion and key process information spread and hidden across different refinery functions and systems.

Bridge Owners are always on the lookout for a coating system for steel bridges that will perform for the longest time, and at a reasonable price. Metallizing has long been considered one of the best coating systems but the lack of qualified applicators simply has not made it available as an economical option. The success of early metallizing encouraged the investment in metallizing for Owners and bridge fabricators, and spurred on its significant growth over the past decade.

EIS is one of the techniques which is frequently used for studying electrochemical reactions on a metal surface in an aqueous environment. However, one of the main challenges in using EIS is the interpretation of results. Various interpretation methods and their associated uncertainties lead to ambiguous outcomes and often end up with a biased analysis One of the methods frequently used is the so-called “equivalent electrical circuit” method which models the response of and electrochemical system by matching it to that of a combination of “analogous” electrical circuit components, such as resistors, inductors, capacitors, etc.
