Values of corrosion rates for carbon steel in contact with raw seawater
Values of corrosion rates for carbon steel in contact with raw seawater
(OP)
Dear all,
I am currently looking for defined values of corrosion rates found for carbon steel pipework circulating raw seawater saturated with air. Information concerning carbon steel used as piping/pipe material (different flow velocities (without solid particles at the moment but if you have, it could be interesting as well), pressure, even temperature maybe) and as structure material (immersed, splash, atmospheric zones ...) will be helpful. I would like to compare values from different references to provide "sure" results.
Some values are available in papers but experiments do not often use natural seawater and experimental conditions are usually stagnant.
I tried to look for values in ISO standards but they give trends (not values) in function of variation of parameters.
Thank you in advance for your answers, best regards.
