当生锈时

当生锈时

You know the rust that clings to all your favorite things, 比如你的自行车, 车, 或者甚至是秋千? We all know that the moment you see that orange-ish brown substance, it only goes downhill from there – much like the movie The Blob. 然而, the first step in pinpointing where rust comes from is recognizing that what these possessions all have in common is that they’re metal-based.

Atmospheric corrosion and metal go together as well as fire and ice, which is to say not at all. A large portion of a manufacturer’s job is factoring in the possibility of corrosion, especially when metal-based material is involved. If this isn’t taken into account, then rust can take over the product, significantly lowering its lifespan.

Atmospheric corrosion is the deterioration and destruction of a material and its vital properties. 这是由于 电化学 as well as other reactions caused from the atmosphere surrounding the material. In the high pressure gas industry, this is a major concern as the steel or iron parts are vulnerable to a low-level electrical current that can accelerate atmospheric corrosion. From there, rust and degradation can wear down the part sooner rather than later.

When it comes to high pressure gas parts, 在严重的情况下, the presence of atmospheric corrosion has the potential to lead to gas leaks or accidents. One way in which manufacturers reduce such possibilities is in the decision to create either insulated or non-insulated products. While insulated products are more protected from atmospheric corrosion, they initially cost more to produce. The decision of which path to take deeply depends on geological factors, 比如沿海应用.

There are many other methods, 除了绝缘, utilized in protecting high pressure gas components from the effects of atmospheric corrosion. 在一个.Y. 麦当劳, we make a conscious effort to acknowledge this in the creation of our natural gas distribution products. This would include sacrificial coating options that delay the onset of rust, such as:

• 锌涂层
• 粉末涂料
• 双组分环氧漆

Judging by the rust you may find on your possessions, the gas industry isn’t the only one affected but prevention is taken a lot more seriously in our industry. 毕竟, a little rust on your children’s swingset pales in comparison to a completely corroded natural gas pipeline. 知道了这一点, gas companies annually spend billions of dollars to limit any potential atmospheric corrosion. 

It’s okay if your knowledge of atmospheric corrosion is a little rusty because 澳门葡京赌场赢钱技巧, and the rest of the natural gas industry, has it covered!
