Corrosion Severity Comparison Of Three Beach Sites

The corrosion severity of an environment is important for both design and maintenance of infrastructure especially in marine and costal environments. Corrosion can vary drastically depending on conditions such as temperature, humidity, salt loading, and rain events.1 The interplay between these variables is quite complex so a variety of indirect techniques for quantifying corrosion severity are typically used. One common method is the determination of corrosion rate by measuring the mass loss of steel coupons exposed in the field. Measuring the change in mass of the steel coupon as a result of the corrosion product being removed from the substrate can provide the rate of corrosion after a specific exposure time in the field.

A comprehensive corrosion study was conducted over a period of twelve months at three exposure sites along the Florida coast: Daytona Beach, Kennedy Space Center (KSC), and the US Naval Research Laboratory, Key West. The long-term goal was to develop a better method to categorize the environmental severity of the exposure sites in terms of corrosion attack, which will aid in the design of accelerated laboratory testing and lifetime prediction for bare metal substrates in coastal environments. Measurements included site-specific weather parameters, mass loss of 1018 steel, and pitting characteristics of uncoated aluminum alloy (AA) 7075-T6. The results of this study yielded an overall ranking in severity of the three sites in terms of corrosion behavior for both steel and aluminum: KSC was the most severe, followed by Daytona Beach, which was slightly more severe than Key West. Pitting characteristics of the steel and aluminum substrates exhibited a strong positive correlation to cumulative salt deposition, but not to other weather parameters, such as exposure to various levels of relative humidity for various lengths of time. For AA7075-T6, lateral pit growth dominates over depth penetration, making mass loss determinations problematic and unreliable, whereas mass loss data for the 1018 steel provided clear indication of the increase in corrosion rate over time at the three exposure sites. However, analysis of the pitting on AA7075-T6 in terms of cross-sectional area and volume loss indicate a logarithmic increase over time for the three sites. These results reinforce the conclusion that while mass loss of steel coupon can be used as indicators of corrosion severity, mass loss for 7075-T6 aluminum alloy is an unreliable parameter to use for determining corrosion severity in the field.

At present, there were ten common crossing modes in long-distance oil and gas pipelines[1,2]. There were six ways of tunneling, such as large excavation, horizontal directional drilling, shield tunnel, drilling and blasting tunnel, ramming pipe and pipe jacking. There were four ways of spanning methods, such as truss crossing, arch bridge crossing, suspension cable crossing and cable-stayed bridge crossing. Crossing by shield tunneling, as a pipeline laying method with high mechanization and automation, extensive applicable strata and high safety, has been widely used in recent years.

Corrosion exists in the whole process of oil exploitation. Pipeline failure caused by corrosion can cause serious economic losses and Security incidents. Due to corrosion factors such as ions and bacteria introduced by sewage, the service environment of the sewage transmission pipeline between the sewage station and the water injection pressurization station studied in this paper becomes more serious[1]. Pipeline corrosion prevention becomes more challenging.

Pipelines have been the main transportation pattern of oil and gas because of their safety and economy, which are considered as the lifeline of offshore oil and gas transportation. With the booming development of offshore oil industry, the frequency of pipeline leakage is also increasing. Corrosion is one of the important factors due to some characteristics such as operating environment, service life and transportation medium, etc., which damages the integrity of the pipeline and damage the normal operation of pipelines. Furthermore, leakage accidents caused by pipeline corrosion have occurred all over the world, accounting for 70~90% of total accidents, which has caused huge economy losses and catastrophic environmental damage.
