51318-11218-A Case Study of Soil-Side Corrosion of Aboveground Storage Tanks in the Middle East

Product Number: 51318-11218-SG

Author: Hanan Farhat

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

Soil-side corrosion of the bottom plates of aboveground storage tanks is the main cause of tank failure. A case study is discussed in this paper, in which failures of three storage tanks were investigated. Soil analysis revealed high salt content and low resistivity.
