Where does a Safety Engineer go to find acceptable corrosion limits on piping in my processes?

RE: Corrosion limits
The sources for corrosion rates and possible corrosion mechanisms can be NACE or corrosion engineering handbooks.
RE: Corrosion limits
For a more detailed evaluation, you can "rerate" a piping system based on the actual metal thickness and the design conditions to calculate a new corrosion allowance. Piping generally has more thickness available for corrosion allowance than the minimum specified in the orginial design, since standard pipe thicknesses are used.
