    Local metal loss assessment of piping elbows

    The corrosion rate is determined as follows. For example,the nominal thickness of a elbow is 6.3,and the minimum remaining wall thickness is 4.2 determined by inspection data from the elbow. The inspection data :5.8,4.8,4.2,5.8,5.7. The time:3 years So,the corrosion rate = (6.3-4.2)/3 = 0.7...

    Local metal loss assessment of piping elbows

    For a local metal loss assessment, the remaining life of piping elbows can be computed by using the method based upon computation of a minimum required thickness for the intended service conditions? For example, r=(t1-t2)/(2c) where r=remaining life,years t1 = the minimum remaining wall...
