The work describes the experimental definition of the main factors that contribute to the emergence of grooving corrosion: availability of abrasive particles in flow which are transported in specific terms when they are capable of scratching the bottom generating line of a pipeline by creating stress concentrators; availability of considerable residual stresses in pipe metal; oxygen availability in reaction zone.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
