Predict
4.0 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 or by using
F5. 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.The entire profile, input and output
data can be exported to Excel by the click of a button provided
on the toolbar. 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.
