    The document discusses corrosion in vertical air receiver heads, noting that it is rare for corrosion to occur below the minimum thickness (tmin) but often happens around the drain nozzle in the center. It indicates that API 510 has special measures to adjust the tmin formula for such cases. It advises that if an inspector says the vessel needs repair or replacement due to lower head corrosion, to check this information first before taking action.

    T'S SURPRISINGLY RARE for vertical air receiver heads to be corroded below tmin.

    Corrosion often
    occurs around the drain nozzle in the centre of the head and there's special measures available in
    API 510 to adjust the tmin formulae to use.Here it is below.If your inspector tells you the vessel
    needs to be replaced or repaired owing to lower head corrosion, check out this FIRST.Best of luck to
    all WILKINSON COUTTS API delegates in the current exam cycle.
