What is a Corrosion Loop - PART 1 - CONCEPT

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
