What is the Difference Between NACE MR0175 and NACE MR0103?

Introduction In industries like oil and gas, where equipment and infrastructure are routinely exposed to harsh environments, selecting materials that can withstand corrosive conditions is crucial. Two essential standards that guide material selection for environments containing hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) are NACE MR0175 and NACE MR0103. While both standards aim to prevent sulfide stress cracking (SSC) […]

Environmental Cracking: HB, HIC, SWC, SOHIC, SSC, SZC, HSC, HE, SCC

Introduction In industries where materials are subjected to harsh environments—such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation—understanding and preventing environmental cracking is critical. These types of cracking can lead to catastrophic failures, costly repairs, and significant safety risks. This blog post will provide a detailed and professional overview of the various forms of […]
