5. Amine Strength Concentration wt% Please fill the amine strength concentration
6. Multiplier
7. Temperature C Choose the maximum temperature
8. Acid Gas Loading mol/mol Please fill the acid gas loading
9. HSAS wt% Choose maximum range of HSAS
10. Estimated Corr. Rate
- General Thinning mmpy

Notes:
1. Estimated corrosion rate calculation based on API 581-2016
2. Amine corrosion may appear either as pitting or grooving
3. Low velocities of amine may form general corrosion
4. High velocities of amine may form local corrosion
5. If the material is not categorized as carbon steel or stainless steel type 300 series, please consult to the Material Specialist to
determine estimated amine corrosion rate on material
6. Low velocity:
< 1.5 m/s for rich amine
< 6.1 m/s for lean amine
7. High velocity:
> 1.5 m/s for rich amine
