Corrosion Resistance of Equipment for Chemical Industry A Handbook

A. M. Sukhotin G. Tereshchenko

This handbook reviews the modern state of corrosion control in some of the leading branches of the chemical and allied industries. The three sections cover in detail the methods for protecting equipment against corrosion, corrosion problems caused by water and water vapor, corrosion protection of equipment in plastics production, and high-temperature corrosion of metals in combustion products of various fuels. From general corrosion principles and methods of nondestructive control, to standards for water and water purity for various types of equipment, this handbook provides reliable, up-to-date information. It covers the production problems posed by important industrial chemicals, such as acrylic and methacrylic acids, high-pressure polyethylene, polyvinyl alcohol, and other compounds in everyday use in manufacturing plants. A great body of information is included here, together with a discussion of the use of computers to collect corrosion data to make monitoring more efficient.
