Velocidad de corrosión y vida remanente

Two thickness readings turned into a short-term and a long-term rate, a remaining life and the next inspection date API 510 and 570 would set.

Datos de entrada

In years.

t-min from the pressure design, not the nominal minus an allowance.

Cómo se calcula

  • Short-term rate = (previous − current) / interval. Long-term rate = (nominal − current) / years in service.
  • The governing rate is the larger of the two, as the codes require.
  • Remaining life = (current − minimum required) / governing rate.
  • Next inspection = half the remaining life, capped at ten years.

Dónde deja de ser cierto

Two readings define a line, and corrosion is rarely a line. Under-deposit attack, MIC and CO₂ corrosion all accelerate once initiated, so a rate averaged over ten quiet years will under-predict a mechanism that started last year. The reading also has to be at the same condition monitoring location on the same grid point to mean anything — a 0.3 mm difference is inside the repeatability of a hand-held UT probe on a rough surface, which means a short interval can produce a rate that is entirely measurement noise.
