The below Technical Bulletins relate to various corrosion issues and threats common to many building properties, process plants and HVAC operations. Each document provides a general discussion of a specific operating problem, and may offer either examples or photo documentation taken from previous investigations, or recommendations on avoiding or remediating such negative effects.

     For most of our Technical Bulletins, the information provided should provide sufficient direction toward avoiding or solving such a problem. We regret that due to limitations on our time, we cannot provide additional information on any subject without a clear and well defined explanation of an operating problem.

     CorrView International offers sets of archived photographs taken during the course of various nondestructive testing projects. Most relate to piping failures and corrosion, while others offer good visual examples of other common maintenance problems such as insulation failure, thread failure, exterior corrosion, and galvanic activity, etc.






     This series of Technical Bulletins, taken from our own case history archives, offer some insight and hopefully useful information regarding various corrosion, piping, and maintenance related issues. Many are based upon our 22 years of involvement in the field of chemical water treatment and ultrasonic pipe testing, and relate to various corrosion problems that commonly exist.

     Many bulletins offer tried and proven solutions to specialized building operations or process cooling problems, while others simply help to define and explain certain common conditions. Review our disclaimer on any technical information contained on this Internet site.

     Others relate to the latest development in the field of building and plant maintenance - and cover topics related to water filtration, piping, chiller tube coatings, and corrosion control. Over 30 subjects are presented in various categories, listed at the navigation bar above; additional topics will be added from our archives as time permits. Technical Bulletins are not cross referenced, unfortunately, and therefore some subjects listed within one general category above, may be also relative to other areas of interest.

     Many of our Technical Bulletins contain sets of photographs helpful in explaining and identifying a particular problem. View a listing of photo galleries here.

     Further general information on most Technical Bulletins will not be available without providing details of a very specific need. For additional technical information, pricing, availability, or recommendations on any product or service listed, please contact CVI. We will respond to each and every inquiry at the earliest opportunity. Contact CorrView International, LLC

     We offer a new on-line forum to post questions or comments about any corrosion, corrosion monitoring, pipe testing, or related issue. Should you not find the information you need in our Technical Bulletins, someone else on the forum may be able to offer assistance.
