Electrochemical potential and polarization behavior measurements made in the laboratory, along with zero resistance ammeter (ZRA) measurements made under laboratory and field conditions, were used to delineate galvanic behavior in petroleum production equipment. These measurements, confirmed by electrode weight loss data, were used to predict corrosion rates for brass/carbon steel and stainless steel/carbon steel couples in the presence and absence of a corrosion inhibitor.
