GRAVITY OF CORROSION PROBLEMS

GRAVITY OF CORROSION PROBLEMS

The process of corrosion is slow and occurs only at surfaces of metals, but the losses incurred due to corrosion are enormous waste or destruction of mechanical, equipments and different type of...
Corrosion and Protection of Metals

Corrosion and Protection of Metals

Most metals (with the exception of noble metals such as Au, Pt) exist in nature in such combined forms as their oxides, carbonates, hydroxy carbonates, sulfides, chlorides and silicates. These are reduced to...
CORROSION

CORROSION

Corrosion is the rusting of metal in pipes or tanks due to the corrosive action of either water or soil. Scales are deposits caused by the deposition of calcium carbonate on the inner surface of pipes or...
Corrosion Control Methods

Corrosion Control Methods

Chemical Treatment Treatment of corrosive water can be either chemical or physical. Chemicals used in the treatment are either meant to stabilize the water, to form a protective film on the pipe surface, or...
Corrosion Indicators

Corrosion Indicators

The most common indicators of corrosion in the distribution system are red water complaints and leaks. If the incidence of these problems increases in a certain area of the distribution system, then some...
Types of Corrosion

Types of Corrosion

Types of Corrosion Corrosion can occur on the outside of a pipe (due to corrosive soil) or on the inside of a pipe (due to corrosive water.) Either outside or inside a pipe, the creation of the corrosion cell...
