Research of steel corrosion rate and stability of corrosion inhibitor film using the rotating cylinder
The data on lab testing of corrosion inhibitor efficiency under the conditions of fast moving flows of the working ambient by method of rotating cylindrical electrode are presented. The equipment for implementing the method and peculiarities of testing the corrosion inhibitors with this method are described. The results of testing the certain commercial corrosion inhibitors are presented. It is conlcuded that the method can be successfully used in lab conditions to assess the efficiency of forming and stability of corrosion inhibitor films under the condition of the flows of corrosive media creating high shear stress on the surface of the pipelines.
