Corrosion Profile
Predict 3.0 now provides a useful utility to perform an analysis for corrosion
index calculation over the length of a pipe. It is available from the tool
bar by clicking on the Corrosion Profile icon. This option provides a tool
for calculating the Corrosion Rates, not only at a single point in the piping
system, but at user specified number of points over the entire length of
the pipe. The user specifies all the required information in the form of
pressure and temperature conditions at pipe inlet and outlet, the total
pipe length and the number of equidistant points for corrosion analysis.
This module enables the user to: |
 |
View Corrosion Rates Profile along
a pipe line for both horizontal and vertical flow |
 |
Predict Water Phase Behavior |
 |
Calculate Dew point temperature,
water content of gas & presence of liquid water and phase distribution |
 |
Easily perform corrosion analysis
for entire pipe length |
|
It is essential to perform corrosion analysis over a pipe length since
many factors like change in temperature/pressure occur along the length.
These changes affect many parameters including the water phase behavior
which in turn affects corrosion rates. In some cases the system may show
very high corrosion rates at certain points downstream due to the condensation
of water. Predict's enhanced calculation rules for predicting the water-content
of natural gas and dew point calculations enable accurate predictions
for water condensation ans thus corrosion rates. A glance at the corrosion
profile informs the user of such problem spots in the pipe system where
there is a high possibility of water condensation and thus very high corrosion
rates.
The functionality to copy the profile data and paste into a spreadsheet
or document is also provided. This provides the user the flexibility to
generate and format various profiles. The report generation module can
be used to efficiently print the profile as well as the corrosion rate
data.
