DEar Roger,
You have the worst scenario possible: seawater, scale inhibitor, carbon steel, and even different temperature (this is a killer). I don't know formulas for calculation but I would suggest you replace your carbon steel piping with stainless steel (I think the 400 series is for...
I want to thank the people that tried to answer my question. However, I did not get the info I needed. My personal problem with the set up is that I have never heard anybody install cathodic protection for the stainless steel (SS 304) casing and screen of a groundwater monitoring well. I hoped...
Corrosion underground is very complicated and unpredictable process. It depends not only on the chemistry of the soil and water, but also on the bio-processes that may be occurring. In clay soils the bio-corrosion is slowed down very much unless close to the surface. The corrosion will...
I have some people that want to install impressed current cathodic protection for groundwater monitoring wells with stainless steel screens. However, the monitoring wells are supposed to monitor for metals. I think that many of the metals in the groundwater will be plated on the anode or...
