For carbon steel, common velocity limits are generally limited to _________ fps for rich amine and _______ fps for lean amine.
For carbon steel, common velocity limits are generally limited to _________ fps for rich amine and _______ fps for lean amine.
For carbon steel, common velocity limits are generally limited to 3-6 fps for rich amine and 20 fps for lean amine. These limits help prevent localized thickness losses due to high velocities and turbulence, which can cause amine corrosion.
Amine corrosion is generally uniform; however, high velocities and turbulence will cause localized thickness losses. For carbon steel, velocities are generally limited to 3 fps to 6 fps (1 m/s to 2 m/s) for rich amine and about 20 fps (6 m/s) for lean amine.
