CORROSIÓN EN LA SUPERFICIE INTERIOR DEL OLEODUCTO MAGISTRAL

Abstract

In this work, the maximum potential difference on the surface of the pipeline while in contact with various phases of the oil-water emulsion was established. Potential measurements were made under static conditions in a medium that simulates the separation of water in the pipeline, on the metal surface of a piece of steel pipe 20. The study showed that the controlling step of corrosion is differential aeration, which contributes to a significant potential difference in the surface of the metal in contact with the different phases of the oil-water emulsion. The potential difference in different sections of the metallic surface in corrosive medium No. 3 varied from 0,3 to 0,5 V, which meant the development of a galvanic cell, and that the anode section is formed on the metallic surface located in the accompanying oil water.
