The corrosion of steel pipes transporting salt water and sand is significantly influenced by flow rates. Empirical equations based on experimental data are essential for accurately modeling this process, incorporating variables such as temperature, pH, soluble oxygen, salinity, and sand content. Higher flow rates correlate with increased corrosion rates, making it critical to consider these factors in corrosion assessments.
PREREQUISITESCorrosion engineers, materials scientists, and professionals involved in the maintenance and design of pipelines in marine or industrial environments.
One would likely need an empirical equation based on experimental data that would include temperature, pH, soluble oxygen, salinity, sand content or suspended particulates.Ry122 said:What equations would show the process of corrosion of a steel pipe that is carrying salt water and sand and also would the corrosion rate be different if at different rates of flow?
