THE BASIC PIPELINE COURSE |
Fundamental or Basic Course??
Online Basic Course 2009- PDF .75 MB
An introductory course in the fundamentals of corrosion and corrosion control,
designed for persons with one to two years of corrosion experience.
Students are urged to take the complete course.
Each Basic Course is taught simultaneously in two different classrooms by instructors utilizing the same outline. Each
instructor will be teaching from a professionally prepared lesson plan.
The objective of the Basic Course is for each student to understand the basic fundamentals of electricity, galvanic
and stray current, corrosion control methods, and field testing procedures, so the student will have a technical
