I am not sure how that applies here. I don't think we fit into any of these catagories "manufacturing, mining, public utility, research and development, or other industrial corporation, or by employees of that corporation, provided that work is in connection with, or incidental to, the...
I am writing to get clarification on the qualifications of professional mechanical engineers in California.
Under the California Professional Engineers Act, Section 6731.6 and 6734.2 the duties of a mechanical engineer are defined in broad terms. I am looking for further clarification on a...
"You need moisture and oxygen to create corrosion,you have both, to add more of one or the other will increase the rate of oxidation."
This cannot be true. If you add more water you have less dissolved oxygen, therefore we are back to the original situation I described. Keep in mind, I in...
Corrosionman is correct for a solution, however that is not what I am looking for.
I do not own the tanks and the owner will not be adding cathodic or other protection. I am trying to find out if my activities will affect the existing rate of corrosion.
Please Read the original question. i...
It's not that simple. If that were the case, thae tank would corrode in air faster since there is more O2 available. Corrosion cells are set up because of the lack of oxygen in the water relative to the available O2 above the water line.
I do not own the tanks or control what goes on with them. They are in the area of a groundwater clean up project I am working on.
Anyone have an opinion on my question?
Thanks
I am looking for responses from engineers with expertise in corrosion.
Here is the situation. I have a steel tank buried in the ground. The tank was originally installed with paint, but the paint is probably not intact currently. The tank is partially (1/2) exposed to groundwater and ½ above...
That is why I am starting with trying to find the leak rate without considering that it is buried. Assume the worst case scenario would be the pipe leaking onto the surface.
No, not exactly. I will figure that out with geological magic. I am trying to figure out at what rate diesel could have leaked from the pipe. An opposing consultant made an estimate and I am trying to check if their calculation is at all accurate.
Thanks
I need to calculate the rate diesel would leak out of a 2" steel pipe buried 3' below grade. The hole was approx. 1/4" diameter and the pipe is under 20 psi pressure. I know the soil type will probably affect the rate. If it is easier, can I find the maximum leak rate assuming the pipe were...
