NACE International
Encyclopedia
NACE International is a professional organization for the corrosion
control industry established in 1943. As of 2010, there are approximately 22,312 NACE members in over 100 countries. NACE International is involved in every industry and area of corrosion prevention and control, from chemical processing and water systems, to transportation and infrastructure protection. NACE's main focus of activities includes cathodic protection
, coating
s for industry and material selection for specific chemical resistance.
NACE was formerly known as the National Association of Corrosion Engineers.
NACE publishes the journals Materials Performance (MP) and Corrosion. NACE also publishes standard practice, test method, and material requirements standards for use by industry and other Corrosion societies
. Standing committees periodically review and update the standards every five years. An annual conference is held in the United States
for the entire organization and several region
al meetings and conferences around the world.
NACE is one of many world wide corrosion societies
.
As according to the NACE standards the pipe materials for sour and corrosive services of industries are selected and manufactured and these material grades are associated with ASME Sec. 2A standards also.
Corrosion
Corrosion is the disintegration of an engineered material into its constituent atoms due to chemical reactions with its surroundings. In the most common use of the word, this means electrochemical oxidation of metals in reaction with an oxidant such as oxygen...

NACE's main focus of activities includes cathodic protection
Cathodic protection
Cathodic protection is a technique used to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it the cathode of an electrochemical cell. The simplest method to apply CP is by connecting the metal to be protected with another more easily corroded "sacrificial metal" to act as the anode of the...

Coating
Coating is a covering that is applied to the surface of an object, usually referred to as the substrate. In many cases coatings are applied to improve surface properties of the substrate, such as appearance, adhesion, wetability, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and scratch resistance...
