Between 10% and 30% of every maintenance dollar is spent to prevent or correct corrosion problems
Corrosion has a measurable and significant impact on system availability
Corrosion directly causes, or is a factor in, many safety mishaps
CPO-sponsored “Impact of Corrosion” studies can be used as a tool to identify and prioritize areas that need to be addressed
