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

What is a Corrosion Loop - PART 2 - EXAMPLE

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! 😀

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...

Electrochemical testing - 1 - Potentiostat

explanation Potentiostat is an instrument to measure as well as apply potential and current. It includes a voltmeter and an ammeter. The voltmeter may also be called an electrometer. It is connected between the working and the reference electrode. Its main function is to measure the potential of the working electrode. It is a crucial component because all the experiments require an accurate measurement of the potential to determine their further potential or current variation.
