Flow Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) Monitoring & Prevention
Detecting the “silent threat” of internal pipe wall thinning in carbon steel components.

Flow Accelerated Corrosion is a major industry concern and a “silent threat” to carbon steel piping. It occurs when the protective oxide layer on the inside of the pipe is stripped away by flowing water or steam, leading to rapid thinning of the pipe walls from the inside out. Because this damage is internal, it often remains undetected until a sudden and catastrophic wall loss occurs.
Munoz Solutions provides systematic FAC programs designed to map these thinning trends. By combining advanced measurement technology with predictive modeling, we help you manage risk, and plan your maintenance outages with data-driven confidence.

Key Inspection Features
- Precision Grid Mapping: Utilizing high-resolution Ultrasonic Testing (UT) to measure wall thickness and identify patterns indicative of FAC.
- Predictive Modeling and Hotspot Identification: Integrating on-site data to identify high-risk components such as bends, tees, reducers, and downstream of flow control valves.
THE MUNOZ SOLUTIONS DIFFERENCE

We don’t just find thin spots; we help you manage your system’s future. By identifying thinning trends early, we provide the data necessary to plan replacements during scheduled outages rather than reacting to emergency failures. Our detailed reporting ensures you stay ahead of corrosion, keeping your plant safe.
