Keyword: «continuous corrosion»

This article examines a model for determining the rate of continuous corrosion on the wall of a vertical steel storage tank and its validity. The corrosion rate is estimated based on in-situ data obtained by measuring the wall thickness at the bottom of the tank. The need to determine the corrosion rate accurately is emphasized, depending on the fill height and average annual temperature. This model can be used to predict the service life of storage tanks.
