Abstract :

The corrosion behavior of carbon steel type A106 was studied in the field which was used in pipelines transporting crude oil from fuel tanks to the subsequent refinery processes in the North Refineries Company in Iraq by calculating the weight loss method of samples to measure the rate of weight loss in mile per year (MPY) unit. The present study uses different forms of Iraqi crude oil from different places: Qayyarah crude oil, Kirkuk crude oil, and Basra crude oil. The results show that the corrosion rate increased at the rising content of water, salt content, and flow rate of crude oil, and Qayyara crude oil has the above rate of corrosion of carbon steel than Basra and Kirkuk crude oil.
