A Review of Literature for the Flow Accelerated Corrosion of Mitred Bends

Abstract

This paper present a state - of - the art review of literatures available for the flow accelerated corrosion of mitred bends. Compared with smooth bends, the volume of literature available for mitres is less extensive and its scope is not as wide. This review tabulates and characterises all publications to date in chronological order. The details of experimental specimens are highlighted with a view to these perhaps providing useful verification data for any future computational fluid modeling analysis for example. Flow accelerated corrosion in bends are discussed where relevant. Details of ultrasonic thickness measurement by ultrasonic testing, scanning electron microscopy, chemical analysis, stereomicroscopic test and x- ray diffraction (XRD) are revealed.
