Abstract

Corrosion study of the API X52 pipeline steel immersed in seawater without biocide and with 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75 ppm of biocide, under static and dynamic (turbulent flow) conditions was carried out at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The hydrodynamic conditions were controlled by a rotating cylinder electrode (RCE) and the rotation speed was 1000 RPM. I order to analyse the corrosion process, linear polarization resistance (LPR), and polarization curves (PC) were made. This work investigation shown that the corrosion rate is higher under turbulent flow conditions than static conditions. A localized corrosion attacks was found in the superficial analysis.
