RE: Corrosion rates in Refinery Equipment
you can't find corrosion rate anywhere. You have to calcualte corrosion rate based on inlet service composition.
RE: Corrosion rates in Refinery Equipment
Corrosion rates will depend on material chemistry, temperature, pressure and composition of fluid. You will not obtain definitive rates for your service. You should talk to plant metallurgists and inspectors to obtain better information.
Many years ago, I attended monthly, informal meetings with Refinery Inspectors in Southern California. The info obtained was invaluable. Network through API and NACE conferences/symposiums as well.

It must be based on YOUR equipment, running YOUR crude, using YOUR inspection data.
