Over the last
ten years, the Socrates software system has become the leading material
selection tool in the oil and gas industry. The latest upgrade,
Socrates 8.0, has been completely updated with a host of new features,
functionality and interface. This comprehensive revision brings
the power of the state-of-the-art in corrosion/materials technology
and computing to global users of Socrates systems.

Characteristics
|
|
Features of the Socrates 8.0 system include,
|
 |
System reasoning updated to reflect current industry guidelines (NACE
MR0175/ISO 15156 guidelines for sour service) Visit www.nace.org
for more information |
|
Updated
rules and data on over 160 corrosion resistant materials, gleaned
from latest corrosion literature, extensive lab tests and real field
experience and the ability to add more |
|
Dynamically
compare pitting resistances of different CRA materials using Comparative
Analysis |
|
Six
hierarchical levels employed for accurate, efficient and easy
material selection |
|
New,
expanded pH determination module that provides comprehensive pH analyses
and determination of ionic strength based on all anions and cations
|
|
Ability
to obtain safe utilization limits (obtained from a comprehensive joint
industry project containing over 2000 data points, Safe
Use Limits) for stainless steels on the fly and access to comprehensive
test data on autoclave exposure, critical pitting temperature (CPT)
and slow strain rate (SSR) test data. |
|
New
data for CRA selection, including current lab and literature data
for evaluation of commonly used materials such as martensitic stainless
steels (13 Cr, Super 13 Cr), Precipitation hardened stainless steels
(17-4 PH) and Duplex Stainless Steels. |
|
New,
on-line literature database with summaries and data from over eighty
five relevant papers to facilitate quick access to published data
for different materials in Socrates |
