Methods for cathodic inhibitor evaluation in neutral cooling water systems
thesis
posted on 2018-05-09, 14:30 authored by David FerredayWater-soluble corrosion inhibitors are acknowledged as the most effective
and cost-efficient method for protecting mild steel cooling water systems.
However, before an inhibitor is used, its effectiveness must be
ascertained. This is usually accomplished using long term rig tests. These
are simplified, scaled down versions of industrial systems, in which
cooling water conditions are closely simulated. Corrosion rates are
calculated from weight loss measurements. These take weeks or even
months to complete. Hence with shorter product deadlines, rig tests often
prove too lengthy to satisfy commercial pressures. [Continues.]
