Corrosion pipe hangers

The applicable codes and standards provide criteria for external inspections for such items as foundation and supports, anchor bolts, concrete or steel supports, guy wires, nozzles and sprinklers, pipe hangers, grounding connections, protective coatings and insulation, and external metal surfaces of piping and vessels, etc. These codes and standards also provide information on methodologies for internal inspection, and a frequency formula based on the corrosion rate of the materials of construction. Also, erosion both internal and external needs to be considered along with corrosion effects for piping and valves. Where... [Pg.280]

The deterioration of metals, commonly referred to as corrosion, is a critical factor affecting the useful life of metals in facilities. Most importantly, the rate of corrosion affects how long a particular metal component wiU function in its intended use. Some metals corrode at a very slow rate, which makes them good candidates for certain applications. For example, aluminum has been found to be an excellent material for hatch covers in atmospheric exposures. On the other hand, the use of 304 stainless steel for pipe hangers in piers over salt water has resulted in failures within a year. The application, the environment, and the intended service are critical to proper material selection. [Pg.818]
