Guidelines on Pipe Wall Thinning -Taking into Account Flow Accelerated Corrosion of Water and Wet Steam Pipelines in Ships-
(Summary)
A disaster happened in a nuclear power plant in Japan in August 2004, which was caused by failure of condensation water pipe in the secondary line. Shipping industries are concerned for possibility of occurrence of such a disaster in ships due to its construction similarity to marine boiler plant in steam, feed water, and condensation piping for main or auxiliary boilers. Nippon Kaiji Kyokai has therefore investigated and showed the result that similar corrosion failure as in the nuclear power plant has occurred in shipboard steam/feed water/condensation water pipes for main and auxiliary boiler plants without causing severe consequences. It is also found that this kind of failure, named “Flow Accelerated Corrosion” and referred to as “FAC”, is caused by erosion-corrosion at a place where the flow is extremely turbulent, such as a location right downstream side of an orifice or a control valve, or at bend parts including elbows, etc., under strong influence of temperature, flow velocity or pH of the fluid. Additionally the result of wall thickness measurements on actual pipe lines of some ships show a very definite evidence of a reduction in wall thickness of carbon steel piping. It was confirmed that the amount of actual reduction in wall thickness could be well predicted by Kastner Equation. Nippon Kaiji Kyokai summarized these evidences with treatment after found wall thickness reduction of pipes referring ASME code case N-597-2 as a ClassNK gaidelines.

ClassNK has just released the English edition of Version II of its previously well-received Guidance for Measures to Cope with Degraded Marine Fuels: Taking into Account the Poor Combustibility of Fuels this November. While the first 1996 edition (Ver. I) focused on preventing increases in major damages attributable to fuel oil, the 2008 edition (Ver.
