The title of this book, Developments in Corrosion Protection, portrays one of the important issues addressed by the industries in the present world. This theme covers a wide range of topics with regards to corrosions which can be further expanded in different contexts. This chapter proposes the theme to be addressed based on the assessment aspects of managing corrosions, for which it is very much applicable to a structure that is already in operation. The discussion presented in this chapter is generally applicable to corrosions in general but special attention is given to corrosions in offshore pipelines. Thus this chapter attempts to brief readers on the development of the approaches used in assessing the reliability of corroded pipelines.
