Abstract
The present paper, deals with the influence of vibration and temperature on corrosion rate of ASTM A537 carbon steel used for crude oil storage tanks of Basrah oil fields in south Iraq. A mechanical vibration system equipped with temperature controller according to ASTM G32 standards test method was used to test and study the effect of vibration and temperature on the corrosion rates using immersion test method. Three types of crude oils: light, medium, and heavy crude oils were collected from tanks in southern Iraq. The experimental immersion test results demonstrated that the vibration increases the corrosion rate compared to static case. The light crude oil show larger values of corrosion and heavy crude oil show smaller values, while medium crude oil show moderate values.
