Metallurgical investigation of early failure of heater pipes in a gas complex
Abstract An early corrosion failure of the piping system of a gas heater was reported by a gas complex company.Local corrosion rates of 0.90 and 0.66 mm/year were observed in the heater piping system.An investigation including visual examination, macrostructure, microstructure (SEM, read more EDS and XRD), thickness gauging, chemical analysis, and
