Corrosive speed

The corrosion speed (even in concentrated HC1, HF and H3P04) is not even 10 4 g/cm/day, which equals 1 mm/10 years. In blood serum (which is a saline solution rich in proteins) with a pH of almost 7, the corrosion speed is even less. 

The Spearman rank correlation method has been used for assessing water parameters. When no phosphates are present, these parameters have no great influence on the change in corrosion speed with time. These speeds are largely influenced by the CO2 contents of the 11 types of water. 

This is of special significance for the study of karst. As we know, the corrosion speed karst is proportional with the flow speed of aggressive water. While larger the crack opening, the faster the corrosion flows, thus leads to a positive... 

Various apparatuses were used, like the DCTC 600 salt spray chamber or the Dynamic EIS Voltalab. The results are presented as mm/year corrosion speed, thus evaluating the different coating systems. 

The electrochemical studies namely cyclic voltammetry and Tafel curves carried out to test the protective layer were conducted using the PGZ 402 Dynamic EIS Voltalab. For the data acquisition the Voltamaster 4, version 7.08, was used. This specialized software can determine, based on references, from the Tafel test s values, the exact corrosion speed, measured in mm/ year. 

A powerful stirrer, driven by a flexible driving shaft between the motor (I h.p.) and the stirrer, is depicted in Fig. II, 7, 3. The motor may be placed at a distance from the stirrer head and reaction vessel, thus enabling the assembly to be used for inflammable, corrosive or fuming liquids without damage to the motor. Furthermore, any laboratory retort stand and clamp may be used since the stirrer head weighs only about 250 grams. A variable speed control (500-2000 r.p.m.) is provided. 

Siace surface reactions iavolved with antiwear and EP additives depend not only on the type of mbbiag materials but also oa operatiag temperature, surface speed, and corrosion questions, selection should be carefully iategrated with the oil type, machine design, and operatiag coaditioas. 

Water plays a primary role in corrosion of the metal walls of tanks and pipes (17), and increases the tendency for high speed pumps to produce wear particles and to exhibit shortened life. Formation of corrosion products can be controlled by addition of corrosion inhibitors, a mandatory additive in military fuels. However, corrosion inhibitors may also degrade other fuel properties and adversely affect ground filtration equipment. Thus they are not generally acceptable in commercial fuels where rigorous attention is given to clean and dry fuels upon aircraft fueling. 

Fouling organisms attach themselves to the underwater portions of ships and have a severe impact on operating costs. They can increase fuel consumption and decrease ship speed by more than 20%. Warships are particularly concerned about the loss of speed and maneuverabiHty caused by fouling. Because fouling is controUed best by use of antifouHng paints, it is important that these paints be compatible with the system used for corrosion control and become a part of the total corrosion control strategy. 

In selec ting the machines of choice, the use of specific speed and diameter best describe the flow. Figure 10-67 shows the characteristics of the three types of compressors. Other considerations in chemical plant service such as problems with gases which may be corrosive or have abrasive solids in suspension must be dealt with. Gases at elevated temperatures may create a potential explosion hazard, while air at the same temperatures may be handled qmte normally minute amounts of lubricating oil or water may contaminate the process gas and so may not be permissible, and for continuous-process use, a high degree of equipment rehability is required, since frequent shutdowns for inspec tion or maintenance cannot be tolerated. 

The corrosion rate is controlled mainly hy cathodic reaction rates. Cathodic Reactions 5.2 and 5.3 are usually much slower than anodic Reaction 5.1. The slower reaction controls the corrosion rate. If water pH is depressed. Reaction 5.3 is favored, speeding attack. If oxygen concentration is high. Reaction 5.2 is aided, also increasing wastage hy a process called depolarization. Depolarization is simply hydrogen-ion removal from solution near the cathode.
