Abstract

In modern industry, pipelines play an important role, especially in the oil and gas sector. Pipes are susceptible to corrosion, especially those in aggressive environments such as PLTD Namlea, which is directly adjacent to the coast. Corrosion, as a natural process of metal degradation, is inevitable, but it can be controlled to extend the life of the pipe. This study measured the thickness of the pipes at PLTD Namlea using Ultrasonic Testing (UT) to determine the corrosion rate and remaining service life. Based on measurements, the minimum thickness of pipes at various measuring points (Measuring Points / MP) still meets the API 574 standard, which must not be less than 1.8 mm. The average corrosion rate ranges from 0.336 to 0.358 mm/year. These values affect the rate of degradation of the pipe and the remaining service life, which ranges from 5.5 to 6.1 years at various measurement points. Pipes that have a higher corrosion rate will have a shorter remaining service life. Overall, the pipeline at PLTD Namlea is still laid. Keywords: Pipe, Corrosion Rate, Remaining Life

Abstract

Ambon Peaker 30 MW. These pipes are prone to corrosion, especially if not protected by a coating, which leads to thickness reduction and shortens the operational lifespan of the pipes. The thickness measurement will be carried out using an Ultrasonic thickness gauge to determine the corrosion rate and the remaining life of the pipe. The standards referenced in data collection are the American Petroleum Institute (API) 570 and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B31.4. The research will be conducted by the author from August 28, 2024, to August 30, 2024, at PLTMG Ambon Peaker 30 MW, Salahutu District, Central Maluku Regency, Maluku Province. The research results show that the minimum thickness reduction indicates a corrosion rate of 0.228 mm/year at Thickness Measurement Location (TML) 17 and 18, while the maximum thickness reduction shows a corrosion rate of 0.564 mm/year at Thickness Measurement Location (TML) 3. Pipes with lower corrosion rates have a remaining life of 5.4 years, while pipes with higher corrosion rates have a remaining life of up to 31.9 years. In conclusion, coating protection is essential to reduce the corrosion rate and extend the service life of the pipes. Keywords: Pipe thickness, Corrosion rate, Pipe remaining life, Ultrasonic thickness gauge.

Abstract

Indonesia, as a tropical country surrounded by water, faces serious corrosion problems due to high rainfall and the presence of seawater containing corrosive salts. Metal materials, especially in storage tanks in the oil and gas industry, are very susceptible to this damage, so they require special attention to maintain their integrity.To evaluate the condition of the tank, an inspection was carried out using the Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) method with an Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge according to API 653 and 575 standards. In the August 2024 measurement, the 100 kl tank showed good condition with varying thicknesses. However, the rooftop section, despite having the highest thickness, recorded a higher annual corrosion rate than other sections.Analysis shows that while the thickness of the material can extend the service life of the tank, the high corrosion rate has the potential to accelerate the failure. The Rooftop is estimated to have a remaining service life of 6.9 years, lower than the rest of the course. This confirms that corrosion management and monitoring are essential to maintain the integrity of the tank and prevent more serious failures.

Abstract

a machine tool used to remove part of a rotated object is called a lathe. In the turning process, surface roughness often occurs on the workpiece, this roughness will later have an impact on the corrosion rate. In the oil and gas industry, corrosion is something that is very undesirable, because it can cause losses and also slow down a production process. This study aims to obtain the value of surface roughness and corrosion rate on medium carbon steel through the turning process with variations in rotation speed, namely at Rpm 350 and Rpm 460 with Vf 17 mm/minute, 21 mm/minute, 23 mm/minute, and 28 mm/minute. The results of this study are that the rotation speed and feed rate affect the roughness value on the surface of medium carbon steel, the average for Rpm 350 with Vf 17 the Ra value is 6.57 µm and Rz 31.2 µm, for Rpm 350 with Vf 21 the Ra value is 10.12 µm, and Rz 42.8 µm, for Rpm 460 with Vf 23 the Ra value is 6.53 µm and Rz 26.2 µm, and for Rpm 460 with Vf 28 the Ra value is 7.65 µm and Rz 34.4 µm. High Rpm but low Vf can produce lower surface roughness compared to low Rpm but high Vf. The surface roughness of the object also affects the corrosion rate, the specimen with the highest surface roughness, namely Rpm 350 with Vf 21, gets the highest corrosion rate value, namely 0.01086 mm/year. for the lowest surface roughness, namely Rpm 460 with Vf 23, gets a value of 0.00890 mm/years. it is proven that the higher the surface roughness value, the higher the corrosion rate value.

Abstract

Carbon steel is a type of alloy steel consisting of various elements, especially iron (Fe) and carbon (C). In general, the properties of steel are influenced by the percentage of carbon and the microstructure of the steel which is influenced by the composition of the steel and heat treatment. The welding process can change the structure and composition of the steel. In this study, the welding process used is SMAW and FCAW welding. Then the testing process is carried out, namely tensile testing and microstructure to see the effect of variations in the welding current used. In this study, the author will analyze the effect of variations in welding current on tensile strength or mechanical properties as well as the structure and composition of the specimen to be tested in this case medium carbon steel. The welding methods used are FCAW (Flux Core Arc Welding) and SMAW (Shield Metal Arc Welding). The results of this study, the author found that the welding current has an effect on the tensile strength and microstructure of medium carbon steel. Where for tensile strength, the greater the welding current used, the greater the tensile strength of the specimen where the current range used must be adjusted to the thickness of the workpiece used. In FCAW 90A the value obtained is 438.30 MPa and the strain value is 6.20% and SMAW 90A the value obtained is 438.20 MPa and the strain is 7.20%. Likewise, the Pmax and ΔL values where in SMAW 90 ampere the Pmax value is 43.82 KN and ΔL 3.60mm, FCAW 90 ampere the Pmax value is 43.83 KN and ΔL 3.10mm. With this, the author concludes that with a material thickness of 8mm and a current variation of 70 amperes and 90 amperes, it was found that at a larger welding current of 90 amperes, the tensile strength obtained was greater and for the microstructure, the author found changes in the structure of the welding results in FCAW welding where in the raw material the structure found was ferrite and pearlite while for the FCAW welding results, a beanite structure was found. Keywords: Welding, tensile strength, microstructure.
