Erosion-Corrosion

What this topic covers

Material loss where fluid flow and corrosion mechanisms interact.

Core ideas

Flow can remove protective films or accelerate local material loss under some conditions.

Geometry changes such as elbows, restrictions and injection points can influence local severity.

Process conditions and material selection matter alongside inspection.

Program tradeoffs

Localized damage can make simple averages misleading, so engineering decisions need representative evidence and applicable acceptance criteria.

What good evidence looks like

Repairs, pressure testing, entry and live process work are specialized activities outside this site's procedural scope.
