1. This guide presents some generally accepted
laboratory methodologies that are used for determining the corrosivity of crude
oil.
2. This guide does not cover detailed calculations and
methods, but rather a range of approaches that have found application in
evaluating the corrosivity of crude oil.
3. Only those methodologies that have found wide
acceptance in crude oil corrosivity evaluation are considered in this guide.
4. This guide does not address the change in oil/water
ratio caused by accumulation of water at low points in a pipeline system.
5. This guide is intended to assist in the selection of
methodologies that can be used for determining the corrosivity of crude oil
under conditions in which water is present in the liquid state (typically up to
100x00B0;C). These conditions nor......
