Corrosion analysis of directly buried steel tubes
Corrosion is one of the main reasons for the damage and failure of buried pipelines. For the long-distance pipeline and centralized pipeline network of natural gas transmission, the corrosion of buried pipelines cannot be directly discovered and is inconvenient for maintenance. How to prevent corrosion damage is a key factor of pipeline safety engineering. According to the corrosion part, the corrosion of buried carbon steel pipe can be divided into internal corrosion and external corrosion. Internal Corrosion The internal corrosion of pipeline is caused by corrosive chemical components in the transported medium. Different medium cause different corrosion factors. For example, natural gas is high in H2S, CO2, water content and dust, which may lead to perforation and burst accidents. The internal corrosion of pipeline is not only the result of multiple external factors, but also related to pipeline material and manufacturing method, as well as stress. External Corrosion ...
