Amine Corrosion Rate
Notes:
1. Estimated corrosion rate calculation based on API 581-2016
2. Amine corrosion may appear either as pitting or grooving
3. Low velocities of amine may form general corrosion
4. High velocities of amine may form local corrosion
5. If the material is not categorized as carbon steel or stainless steel type 300 series, please consult to the Material Specialist to
determine estimated amine corrosion rate on material
6. Low velocity:
< 1.5 m/s for rich amine
< 6.1 m/s for lean amine
7. High velocity:
> 1.5 m/s for rich amine
Project: Risk Based Inspection (RBI)
