Important terms in API certifications - CRV & IOW - I

CRV stands for critical reliability variables.

It notes the variables, i.e. parameters which are the most important in damaging the reliability of the equipment.

In simple terms, it is that parameter which if changed will damage your equipment.

This parameter is important in risk-based inspection.

It helps to note the exact parameters, may be temperature, pressure, pH, which will increase the risk of corrosion and damage.

Corrosion in fertilizer industry - 1.2 Elemental sulphur attack

WATCH THE VIDEO HERE OR READ ON BELOW! Elemental sulphur attack is NOT sulphidation or hydrogen sulphide corrosion. It is an aqueous corrosion phenomenon. It considers two modes - acidification of sulphur - formation of sulphuric acid 2. direct cathodic reduction of sulphur with anodic dissolution of iron The lowering of pH is the main source of corrosion in both the methods. The phenomenon is temperature dependent. It increases with increase in temperature and becomes particularly severe above the melting point of sulphur (~112.8 degree Celsius). Hydrogen sulphide present in the petroleum may aggravate the sulphur attack by enhancing uniform pitting corrosion. Monoethylene glycol is used to prevent condensate formation ans may be present in traces in the feedstock petroleum. This enhances the sulphur attack in the form of uniform corrosion, and crevice corrosion. References: Fang, Haitao, Brown, Bruce, Young, David, and Srdjan Nešic. "Investigation...

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! 😀

Electrochemical testing - part 3- What does an ammeter do?

Electrochemical testing - 3 - Ammeter Poll Question WITH Answers: Description: Tafel polarization is a potentiodynamic test, where the potential is changed at a certain mV/time rate. The changes in the current flow occurring due to the potential change are measured using the ammeter. The ammeter is connected between the working electrode and the counter electrode. It is NOT connected to the reference electrode in any way .
