Guedes Soares, C., Garbatov, Y., Zayed, A. and Wang, G. (2008), "Corrosion Wastage Model for the Inside of Ship Crude Oil Tanks", Corrosion Science, Vol. 50, Issue 11, pp. 3095-3106

The effect of the different environmental factors on the behaviour of the corrosion inside the crude oil ship tanks all over the ship’s service life is studied here. A new corrosion wastage model based on the non-linear time variant corrosion accounting for various chemical and physical factors through the different environments inside the ship tanks is proposed. A numerical example of the application of the new corrosion model is presented considering different crude oils, different environments inside the ship tanks and cargo load conditions.
