Isocorrosion chart snapshot

 concept

  • Isocorrosion chart

Use

  • Estimate corrosion rates for an alloy
  • Select an alloy for a particular application with specific parameters

Definition

  • A plot of temperature versus electrolyte concentration, with lines depicting combination where similar corrosion rates are found

example


how to use it?
  • An application needs a temperature and concentration as depicted by point 1 in the image above.
  • We can plot it on the isocorrosion chart for that alloy and estimate the corrosion rate.
  • The design of the component and corrosion allowance can be decided accordingly.
  • A method to determine the suitability of the alloy for an application and electrolyte-temperature combination.

Video below for practical demo of the use of the chart!

How many pages long should my research paper/thesis be?

In this post, I would like to address an issue that is encountered by many undergraduates and postgraduates who are doing their very first research project. In my experience of designing and managing projects for undergraduates, interns, and postgraduates, I so often get asked two questions - 1) "How many pages should my research report/thesis/paper be?" 2)"How many references should I put at the end of the paper?" My answer is stop focusing on the number unless it is a strict requirement. Base your report on what you have learnt in the research work. Concentrate  on describing the amazing new things that you have got acquainted with. At each step of the project, you will come across a small question leading to reading of new references, and you will not need to find more just for the sake of it. Enjoy the process of writing something you found amazing. Check out the detailed video below! FREE RESEARCH CHECKLIST TEMPLATE AVAI...

Important terms in API certifications - CRV & IOW - III

INTEGRITY OPERATING WINDOW IOW can be understood by using a simple example of milk kept for boiling in a pot on a stove. The definition as per API 584 is   "established limits for process variables (parameters) that can affect the integrity of the equipment  if the process operation deviates from the established limits for a predetermined length of time” What are the important words here?    established limits  process variables  affect the integrity of the equipment process operation deviates predetermined length of time In the above example, let us keep the time as 1 hour. Now there are two critical variables here- Temperature  What is the IOW for temperature? Answer: The melting point of milk is 92 degrees C. That is the optimum level. For 1 hour, if temperature is below 40 degrees C, it may not boil at all. If the temperature is  above 120 degrees C, it may condense. So, the IOW = 40 - 120 degrees C Vessel dimension = volume of milk is 1 ...
