Answer:
Rate of corrosion = 24.95 mpy
Rate of corrosion = 0.63 mm/yr
Explanation:
given data
steel sheet area = 150 in²
weight loss = 485 g
density of steel = 7.9 g/cm³
time taken = 1 year
to find out
rate of corrosion in (a) mpy and (b) mm/yr
solution
we get here the rate of corrosion that is express as
rate of corrosion = (k × W) ÷ (D × A × T) ..................1
here k is constant and w is total weight lost and t is time taken for loss and A is surface area and D is density of steel
so put her value in equation 1 we get
Rate of corrosion =
Rate of corrosion = 24.95 mpy
and
Rate of corrosion =
Rate of corrosion = 0.63 mm/yr
