Question

Which of the following is/are the aspects of design to minimize erosion-corrosion?

(a) Increasing pipe diameter

(b) Avoiding sharp edges and turnings

(c) Readily replaceable impingement plates should be inserted

(d) Increasing pipe diameter, avoiding sharp edges and turnings and readily replaceable impingement plates should be inserted

The question was posed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

My doubt stems from Eight Forms topic in section Eight Forms of Corrosion of Corrosion Engineering

Answer 1

The correct answer is (d) Increasing pipe diameter, avoiding sharp edges and turnings and readily replaceable impingement plates should be inserted

For explanation: Design is an important factor to minimize or combat erosion-corrosion. The design includes increasing pipe diameter, avoiding sharp edges and turnings, readily replaceable impingement plates should be inserted, and maintaining certain angles to minimize impingement area.
