Pipeline - atmospheric corrosion rate?
Pipeline - atmospheric corrosion rate?
(OP)
Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how external corrosion rates, on pipelines that are above-ground and exposed to the atmosphere (let's say a desert area on a span), are affected by a protective coating such as paint. Yes, I do understand that it will slow a corrosion process down, but by how much? What would be a good prediction rate for that scenario besides the standard API rate:
rate = depth of anomaly/age of pipeline
All responses are appreciated! Thank you!

sorry, i am not aware of any corrosion rates, per se. it does not mean there aren't any, i am not aware of any.
good luck!
