Using submerged jet impingement experiments critical wall shear stresses for initiation of flow induced localized corrosion (FILC) were evaluated for the system carbon steel/aqueous polysulfide containing monoethylamine (MEA) solutions/H2S (22 to 42 bar). Due to an extraordinary MEA concentration effect the critical wall shear stress at 130 °C was about...
