This facility is used to study the multiphase flow corrosion problems of pipeline structures in petroleum, petrochemical, chemical, electric power, metallurgy and marine industries. A series of multiphase flow loops is constructed which can simulate the corrosion environment with coexistence of oil, gas, water and solid through flexible combination of test loops. This study will contribute to the research on material selection, corrosion evaluation and life prediction.

Aims

This facility is able to simulate the multiphase flow corrosion phenomena encountered in pipe structures in different industries by using large scale, multi-function, flexible combination multiphase flow corrosion test loops.

Testing Capability

1.Evaluation of the multiphase flow corrosion performance of large scale pipeline material;

2.Accelerated evaluation test by small scale samples in multiphase flow corrosion environment;

3.Effects of geometric condition and pipe size on the multiphase flow corrosion behaviour of pipelines.

Research Directions

1.Influence of flow velocity and flow regime on multiphase flow corrosion behaviour;

2.Influence of geometric conditions on multiphase flow corrosion behaviour;
