Popis: Corrosion tests were conducted in the laboratory on steel, stainless steels, Monel, and nickel in amine solution saturated with carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. The effects of temperature, pressure, and amine concentration and the presence of sludge were explored. Types 304 and 316 stainless steel gave consistently low corrosion rates under all conditions. Monel was satisfactory when carbon dioxide or hydrogen sulfide were present singularly in the amine but mixtures of the gases were damaging. Hydrogen sulfide alone in amine solution was not highly corrosive to any of the alloys. Corrosion increased with increase in severity of conditions. Results of a number of field corrosion tests in operating equipment under a variety of conditions of temperature and concentration are given together with an interpretation of the data in the light of practical experience. 8.4.3
