CORROSION OF CARGO PIPELINES
The corrosion problem of various types of cargo pipelines in tankers is evaluated. Corrosion of iron pipes in crude oil service has been of three distinct types: (1) numerous small pits on the upper half of the outside of the pipe; (2) large pits in the bottom segment of the interior of the pipe; and (3) loss of metal from the edge of straight-ended pipes. Exterior pipeline corrosion can be suppressed by cathodic protection. A TV technique which enables ship owners to inspect the interior of their piping systems with the minimum of disruption and expense is described.
