It allows electrochemical methods ofestimating corrosion rates on the specimen and produces auniform hydrodynamic state across the metal test surface.(2-21)5.4 In this practice, a general procedure is presented toobtain reproducible results using RCE to simulate the ef

17、fects ofdifferent types of coupon materials, inhibitor concentrations,oil, gas and brine compositions, temperature, pressure, andflow. Oil field fluids may often contain sand. This practice doesnot cover erosive effects that occur when sand is present.6. Apparatus6.1 Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram

18、 of the RCE system.The RCE apparatus consists of a rotating unit driven by amotor that is attached to a sample holder.Asystem with a rangeof rotational speeds from 100 to 10 000 rpm with an accuracyof 62 rpm is typical. It is essential to be able to rotate theelectrode at both low and high speeds an

19、d to be able to measurethe speed and maintain it at a constant. The accuracy of therotation rate should be checked. At the side of the sampleholder where it is outside the cell, electrical connections to theelectrodes are made by a brush contact. It is important for theconnection to be as noise free

20、 as possible.6.2 The cylinder geometry is usually defined in terms of thelength-to-diameter ratio. Both low and high ratios are used,with ratios varying between 0.3 and 3.0. The rotating cylindercan also be used as a mass loss coupon when the mass loss issufficiently large to be accurately measured

21、using a conven-tional balance (with accuracy of 0.1 mg).6.3 The RCE geometry may have an inner cylinder and anouter cylinder. The geometry is usually defined in terms of theradius of the inner cylinder and the radius of the outer cylinder.When the outer diameter is several times the diameter of thei

22、nner electrode the hydrodynamics are essentially controlled bythe diameter of the inner rotating cylinder (2). The outercylinder may act as counter electrode. An RCE with only aninner cylinder may also be used.6.4 A saturated calomel electrode (SCE) with a controlledrate of leakage or a saturated ca

23、lomel electrode utilizing asemipermeable membrane or porous plug tip or silver/silverchloride or any other suitable electrode should be used asreference electrode. The potential of the reference electrodeshould be checked at periodic intervals to ensure the accuracyof the electrode. For experiments

24、at higher-temperature, ahigher-pressure, reference electrode arrangement that can with-stand higher temperature and pressure should be used (22).This may require special care.6.5 Fig. 2 shows a typical rotating electrode unit. A rotatingshaft can be modified by drilling a hole in the shaft into whic

25、ha polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) insulator is inserted. Insidethe PTFE insulator, a metal rod should be introduced (Fig. 2).One end of the metal rod is threaded so that the cylindricalelectrode can be attached. The other end of the rod is attacheddirectly to the rotating unit, through which the ele

26、ctricalconnection is made.6.6 After attaching the specimen to the shaft, the systemshould be checked for eccentricity and wobble. This can beaccomplished by installing a dial micrometer so as to monitorthe location of the top of the rotating cylinder and rotating theshaft slowly through one complete

27、 turn. The micrometershould then be moved to monitor the center of the specimen,and the process repeated. Finally the micrometer should bemoved to the bottom of the specimen and the process repeated.The assembly should also be rotated at its maximum rotationrate and the specimen wobble checked again

28、 using, forexample, a laser indicator or vibration monitor.6.7 Appropriate cylinder specimen (such as, carbon steel) ismachined and snugly fitted into the PTFE or any other suitablespecimen holder (Fig. 2). The presence of gap betweenspecimen and holder will create crevice corrosion as well aschange

29、 the flow pattern. If necessary, apply a very smallamount of epoxy to fit the specimen into the holder. Tightlyattach or screw an end-cap so that only the outer cylindricalarea of known length is exposed to the solution. The specimenholder is then attached to the rotating unit. Specimen, holder,and

30、end-cap should all have the same diameter.6.8 The rotating unit is attached into the experimentalvessel, ensuring that there is no leakage through the rotatingshaft and the holder and that the rotating shaft is verticallypositioned. Even a very slight inclination could drasticallychange the flow pat

31、tern.6.9 A versatile and convenient apparatus, consisting of akettle or flask (Fig. 1) of suitable size (usually 500 to5000 mL), inlet and outlet ports for deaeration, thermowell andtemperature-regulating device, a heating device (mantle, hotplate, or bath), and a specimen support system, should be

32、used.The volume (of the solution) to surface area (of the specimen)ratio has some effect on the corrosion rate and hence inhibitorefficiencies. A larger volume/surface area (minimum 40 mL/cm2) should be preferred.6.10 In some cases a wide-mouth jar with a suitable closurecan be used, but open-beaker

33、 tests should not be used becauseof evaporation and contamination. Do not conduct the open-beaker test when H2S (hydrogen sulfide) is used. In morecomplex tests, provisions might be needed for continuous flowor replenishment of the corrosive liquid, while simultaneouslymaintaining a controlled atmos

35、e shouldbe used.6.12 A design of the vessel that can be used in elevatedpressure conditions (23, 24) include a standard autoclave (Fig.3) modified by lining on the inside with PTFE. The stirring rodcan be modified by drilling a hole into that a PTFE insulator isinserted. Inside the PTFE insulator, a

36、 metal rod is introduced.G185 06 (2016)2A. Reference ElectrodeB. InletC. OutletD. Luggin CapillaryE. Counter ElectrodeF. Rotating CylinderG. Temperature ProbeH. pH ElectrodeI.

The other end of the rod, projectingslightly above the motor unit, is attached directly the rotatingunit, through which the electrical connection is made. The rodis rotated by a motor con

Thecounter and reference electrodes are inserted inside the auto-clave.6.13 The suggested components can be modified,simplified, or made more sophisticated to fit the needs of aparticular investigation.7. Materials7.1 Methods for preparing specimens for tests and forr

39、emoving specimens after the test are described in Practice G1.Standard laboratory glassware should be used for weighing andmeasuring reagent volumes.7.2 The specimen shall be made of the material (such as,carbon steel) for which the inhibitor is being evaluated. Thespecimen should have same metallog

40、raphic structure as thatused in the service components. The specimens should beground to a specified surface finish (such as, 150-grit). Thegrinding should produce a reproducible surface finish, with norust deposits, pits, or deep scratches. All sharp edges on thespecimen should be ground. All loose

41、 dirt particles should beremoved.7.3 The specimens are rinsed with distilled water, degreasedby immersing in acetone (or any suitable alcohol), ultrasoni-cally cleaned for 1 minute, and dried. The surface of thespecimens should not be touched with bare hands. The speci-mens are weighed to the neares

42、t 0.1 mg (for mass lossmeasurements), the dimensions are measured to the nearest 0.1mm, and the surface area is calculated.7.4 Freshly prepared specimens are installed in the RCEholder. If the test is not commenced within 4 h, the preparedcoupons shall be stored in a desiccator to avoid pre-rusting.

43、8. Test Solutions8.1 All solutions (oil and aqueous) should be obtained fromthe field for which the inhibitor is being evaluated. These areknown as live solutions. It is important that live solutions donot already contain corrosion inhibitor. In the absence of livesolutions, synthetic solutions shou

44、ld be used, the compositionof which should be based on field water analysis. The compo-sition of the solution should be determined and reported.Alternatively, standard brine (such as per Practice D1141)should be employed. The solutions should be prepared usinganalytical grade reagents and deionized

45、water.8.2 The solutions should be deoxygenated by passing nitro-gen or any other inert gas for sufficient time to reduce theoxygen content below 5 ppb and preferably below 1 ppb insolution. The solution must be kept under deoxygenatedconditions. The oxygen concentration in solution depends onthe qua

46、lity of gases used to purge the solution. Any leaksthrough vessel, tubing, and joints shall be avoided.A. Outside ViewB. Cross-Sectional ViewFIG. 2 Schematic Representation of a RCE with its Components (adapted from Ref 18)G185 06 (2016)48.3 The appropriate composition of gases is determined bythe c

47、omposition of gases in the field for which the inhibitor isevaluated. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2)are corrosive gases. H2S is poisonous and should not bereleased to the atmosphere. The appropriate composition of gascan be obtained by mixing H2S and CO2streams from thestandard labo

48、ratory gas supply. Nitrogen or other inert gasescan be used as a diluent to obtain the required ratios of thecorrosive gases. Alternatively, gas mixtures of the requiredcompositions can be purchased from suppliers of industrialgases. The concentrations of impurities, particularly oxygen,shall be kep

49、t as low as possible with guidelines of below 5 ppband preferably under 1 ppb oxygen in solution.8.4 The solution pH before and after testing shall bemeasured, recorded, and reported. The solution pH should bemonitored regularly (at least once a day) during the test.8.5 Inhibitor concentrations should be measured and re-ported in % mass/volume or parts per million (ppm). Themethod of injecting the inhibitor into the test solution shouldreflect the actual field application. Water-soluble inhibitorsmay be injected neat (as-received) into the test solution(aqueous phase). To avoid
