Structural integrity mitigation methods

External corrosion of tanker tmcks and railcar-mounted tanks is a problem. Both general and pitting corrosion from the atmosphere and splash water from the roadway or rail bed can affect the tank s structural integrity. This can be a serious problem in locations where chloride sources are present such as road salt or airborne marine atmosphere and airborne industrial pollution. The common mitigation method involves painting of the tanks.
