tmin May 2003 Oct1998 May1995 Jan1991

0.395" 0.454" 0.477" 0.492" 0.500"

(tmin = 0.395 W/O-CA, tact = 0.454, tp=0.477, tin = 0.500)

1. Convert Dates to Numbers

May 2003 = 2003.5/12 = 2003.42
Oct 1998 = 1998.10/12 = 1998.83
May 1995 = 1995.5/12 = 1995.42
Jan 1991 = 1991.1/12 = 1991.083
2. Calculate Short Term Corrosion Rate
CRST = tp-tact
Time interval
= .477- .454
2003.42-1998.83
= 0.023
4.59
= 0.005 IPY
3. Calculate Long Term Corrosion Rate
CRLT = tin-tact
Time interval
= 0.500-0.454
2003.42-1991.083
= 0.046
12.34
= .004 IPY
4. Pick the controlling corrosion rate (Highest) = CRST = 0.005 IPY
5. Reaming life (RL) = tact-tmin (CA/CR) Note. CA= tact-tmin
CR (Highest)
= 0.454-0.395
0.005
= 11.8 Years
6. Inspection Interval = ½ RL or 10 years (Whichever is less)
= ½ ×11.8 or 10 years
= 5.9 or 10 years
= 5.9 years
7. Next Inspection Date = Last Inspection Date + Inspection Interval
= 2003.42+5.9
= 2009.32
8. Convert partial Years to Months = .32×12 = 3.84 = April

9. Final Answer 2009 April.
