The material strength characteristics used shall be related to the specified lifetimes in the various creep load cases 5.2 Corrosion, erosion and protection 5.2.1 General Whenever the word "corrosion" is used in this standard it shall be taken to mean corrosion, oxidation, scaling, abrasion, erosion and all other forms of wastage. NOTE 1 Stress corrosion cracking may occur under certain conditions of temperature and environment. A corrosion allowance is not an appropriate way of dealing with stress corrosion. Under such conditions, consideration shall be given to the materials used and the residual stresses in the fabricated vessel.
NOTE 2 It is impossible to lay down definite precautionary guidelines to safeguard against the effects of corrosion owing to the complex nature of corrosion itself, which may occur in many forms, including but not limited to the following: ⎯ chemical attack where the metal is dissolved by the reagents. It may be general over the whole surface or localized (causing pitting) or a combination of the two; ⎯ rusting caused by the combined action of moisture and air; ⎯ erosion corrosion where a reagent otherwise innocuous flows over the surface at velocity greater than some critical value;
⎯ high temperature oxidation (scaling).
Consideration should be given to the effect which corrosion (both internal and external) may have upon the useful life of the vessel. When in doubt, corrosion tests should be undertaken. These should be carried out on the actual metal (including welds or combination of metals) under exposure to the actual chemicals used in service. Corrosion tests should be continued for a sufficiently long period to determine the trend of any change in the rate of corrosion with respect to time. NOTE 3
It is very dangerous to assume that the major constituent of a mixture
