LINE SIZE 6
t initial - t last
CORROSION RATE LONG TERM = time (years) between last and initial inspections

t initial = 0.44
t last = 0.28
time (yrs) 5
L.T. rate 0.032
t previous - t last
CORROSION RATE SHORT TERM = time (years) between last and previous inspections

t prev. = 0.28
t last = 0.22
time = 1
S.T. rate 0.06

REMAINING LIFE (years)= t actual - t minimum

corrosion rate (CR)
WHERE-
t actual =The actual minimum thickness, in inches (millimeters), determined at the time of inspection as
specified in 3.5
t minimum =t minimum t actual = 0.28 Inches
t actual = 0.22 Inches t minimum 0.109 Inches
t minimum 0.109 Inches LTCR= 0.032 Inches
STCR= 0.06 Inches
