Abstract:
The accelerated iron corrosion test (AICT) is a method used to determine if an iron component is affected by corrosion in the presence of water. Determining possible corrosion while using certain petroleum products is crucial to ensure the safe transport and storage of fuels and oils. In the case where there is excess corrosion, consequences will arise causing serious damage to the pipeline and leading to unnecessary expenses. Koehler Instrument Company’s latest AIC tester can efficiently and accurately determine iron corrosion of petroleum products in accordance with ASTM D7548. The results produced can be compared with the standard test result to determine the degree of corrosion. Considerations, such as picking the appropriate material to store or transport fuels or adding the right amount of inhibitor to the pipeline, must be examined in an attempt to decrease the degree of corrosion. These corrective actions are implemented if the presence of rust formed during the test exceeds a certain threshold. This poster will highlight the importance of iron corrosion testing and describe the operating procedures for this AIC tester.
