SmartPads In News Media

This article examines corrosion under pipe supports on FPSOs, outlining mechanisms including crevice, under-deposit, galvanic, pitting, and microbiologically influenced corrosion. It introduces the SmartPad System as a sealed dielectric interface engineered to interrupt these drivers.

This article examines corrosion under pipe supports on FPSOs, outlining mechanisms including crevice, under-deposit, galvanic, pitting, and microbiologically influenced corrosion. It introduces the SmartPad System as a sealed, dielectric interface designed to interrupt these drivers.

This article analyzes why traditional pipe support solutions often accelerate corrosion under pipe supports (CUPS). It introduces the SmartPad System as an interface-focused approach designed to eliminate metal-to-metal contact and reduce moisture retention.

Focused on offshore environments, this article explains how vibration, salt exposure, and trapped moisture accelerate corrosion under pipe supports. It presents the SmartPad System as a non-metallic interface engineered to reduce these corrosion drivers.

This article presents the SmartPad System as an FRP interface designed to mitigate corrosion under pipe supports. It highlights a sealed gasket contact surface that eliminates metal-to-metal contact while supporting simplified inspection practices.

This article explains how coating wear, moisture retention, and metal-to-metal contact initiate corrosion at pipe supports. It outlines how the SmartPad System addresses these risks using an FRP saddle and sealed interface.

This offshore case study reviews a Gulf of Mexico platform trial where replacing steel-on-steel contacts reduced corrosion risk and operational noise. Long-term inspections reported no active corrosion at treated support locations.

This article explains how movement, trapped moisture, and metal contact drive corrosion under pipe supports. It presents the SmartPad System as an all-composite interface designed to block moisture, reduce friction, and electrically isolate the pipe.
