Obtaining Batch Corrosion Inhibitor Film Thickness Measurements Using an Optical Profiler
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Batch corrosion inhibitors are widely used for the corrosion control of production wells and pipelines in the oil and gas industry. Rules of thumb that incorporate film thickness, contact time and surface area are still commonly used to calculate the volume of batch inhibitor required for pipeline applications. Measuring the actual thickness of the inhibitor film on the metal and the impact of different variables on the film (e.g. inhibitor type, contact time, diluent type, dilution ratio, shear stress) offer the potential to provide a better understanding for optimizing the application procedure and required batch frequency. Optical profiling (or white light interferometry) has long been a standard technique for non-contact, 3D measurement of surface topography. This method has now been extended to thickness measurements of semi-transparent batch inhibitor films. In this paper, the impact of several variables (i.e. inhibitor type, contact time, diluent ratio, shear stress) on batch inhibitor films was studied using an optical profiler to advance our knowledge of batch inhibitor application techniques and to optimize batch programs (e.g. film persistency, batch frequency).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
