% Oxygen Required for Corrosion
% Oxygen Required for Corrosion
(OP)
I'm wondering if anyone has a good handle on how much (or how little) oxygen we would require in the following scenario to avoid corrsion of our uncoated carbon steel pipeline:
Fluid - sea water
Temp - 5 to 25 degrees C
Velocity in pipe - 1.4 m/s
Pressure - as high as 2000 kPa, as low as atmospheric
We're installing a de-aeration unit to prevent corrosion, but have no idea what level of oxygen is acceptable to avoid major corrosion.
Thanks!
