Geothermal fluid pipelines experience temperature changes on startup and shutdown that can be of the order 300 °C. Carbon steel pipeline design can include expansion loops and direction changes to allow for thermal expansion and contraction for the long lengths of pipeline commonly used from geothermal production wells to the geothermal power station and from the station to reinjection wells. In some instances, expansion compensators are used where there is insufficient area for such loops or where the pipe diameter is prohibitively large.

Stressed bellows compensators heated by the transmission of two-phase geothermal fluid were exposed to atmospheric contaminants to simulate worst case external conditions. The tests aimed to determine time to failure under increasing severity of the external environment. Failure was not observed in the time period of the tests while the bellows were operated at temperatures above 150 °C regardless of the external contaminants. Cycling from high (105 °C achieved by steam heating internally) temperature to low (ambient) temperature gave accelerated damage mechanisms and failure from the external surfaces of both materials in a similar time period through pitting and Chloride SCC of the S32100 material and pitting of the N08825 material. Internal corrosion was also observed and attributed to the ambient standby conditions with no steam flow and the presence of weld spatter.

With the rapid development of the economy and acceleration of urban modernization, many high-speed railways and buried pipelines have been built in China. Due to the limitation of space or geographical location, high-speed railways are often constructed in parallel or crossing with long-distance pipelines in some locations. The interference of high-speed railways on pipelines is the result of inductive and conductive coupling, which brings about AC corrosion and other safety issues.

Fouling of equipment surface by unwanted materials is a well-documented problem in
industrial water systems.1 The foulants are generally classified into four categories: a)
mineral scales i.e., calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, calcium phosphate, magnesium
hydroxide, etc., b) corrosion products i.e., iron oxide, zinc oxide, copper oxide, etc., c)
microbiological mass i.e., bacteria, algae, fungi, and other organisms, and d) deposits
i.e., clay, silt, calcium-inhibitor salts, corrosion products, etc.

Various austenitic stainless steels such as UNS S30409, S31609, S32109 and 34709 are widely used in complex refinery or chemical plants at temperature ranges between 550°C and 950°C. However, Stress Relaxation Cracking (SRC) in welded joints or cold deformed parts has been a serious problem during fabrication or operation. Several researches were conducted to construct SRC test methods. This included the evaluation of SRC susceptibilities among various austenitic stainless steels and to determine SRC mechanism within TNO Science and Industry or JIP1-4. It was concluded that SRC was caused by the accommodation of strain due to both carbide/nitride precipitation hardening inhibiting dislocation movement and the formation of precipitation free zone along the M23C6 carbide at grain boundary during stress relaxation process of welding residual stresses at temperatures between 550°C and 750°C.
