Corrosion loop is used to simplify inspection procedures in refining processes.

Corrosion loop is defined as a group of components with common materials, processes, and operating parameters.

It is needed when the scenario has -

1. Complex process

2. Several variables such a materials of construction, process parameters, functions

3. Multiple damage mechanisms

Corrosion risk planning - 1 - Lead acid battery

By
Corrosion is a quality, environment, and safety issue. Hence, it has to come under the cope of integrated management system audits However at the moment, it is more or less considered a quality issue. As such, the general tendency is to solve corrosion issues as they come. Especially in new inventions, the foresight to look for potential corrosion risk gets lost in the attempt to focus and highlight the amazing qualities of the said inventions. Hence, I have initiated this series, where I will take a component and point out the potential corrosion and damage risk areas.  Here goes the first one - lead acid battery cell. (Source:https://opentextbc.ca/chemistry/chapter/17-5-batteries-and-fuel-cells/)  Protective casing -  effect of temperature + electrolyte + contamination in electrolyte on the polymer crevice corrosion at fixtures mechanical damage during handling leading to voids for moisture ingress and oxygen/electrolyte leakage Positive terminal - corrosion of the mate...

What is a Corrosion Loop - PART 2 - EXAMPLE

By
How to prepare a corrosion loop? To prepare a corrosion loop, the person in charge will look at the overall picture and answer the following questions - 1. What is the process? 2. What are the components? 3. What are the materials for each component? 4. What are the common features among them? 5. Where does the commonality end? -  This is important as that will mark the beginning of a new corrosion loop. 6. Can I use the same inspection procedure for all of them? 7. Do they corrode/get damaged in the same manner due to the same reasons? WATCH THE VIDEO FOR A DETAILED EXPLANATION -       Read part 1 here! https://corrospective.com/ 😀Happy learning! 😀
