◾ It is a mechanical attack on the metal surface which may be due to a disturbance in the flow of the
fluid over the metal surfaces, resulting in a loss of metal. Suspended abrasive matters in the Subscribe
fluid can increase the rate of metal losses.
◾ It is the deterioration of metals due to oxidation. The present of water in an acidic ***If you Like it, Share it
condition provides the electrolyte required for corrosion action.
◾ It occurs when metal at high temperature comes into contact with air or other gases, resulting
in oxidation or sulphidation of the metal. Follow Us
Electro-chemical action
Jab Froze
◾ Galvanic action, this being set up when two dissimilar metals are placed in an electrolyte. Follow
The noble of the two metals form a cathode to the base metal which, forming the anode, is wasted
away.

What is meant by caustic embrittlement in boilers? Like Page
◾ Caustic embattlement is a form of inter crystalline cracking, which results from a solution
of sodium hydroxide or caustic soda, becoming more and more concentrated at the bottom of a
crack or fissure (narrow opening) which may be the result of fatigue, in the boiler plate or furnace. Recent Posts
◾ The plate must be stressed, so that wastage take place at the bottom of crack, the plate weakens,
the crack extends to expose new metal to the caustic action and thus it proceed. High Voltage System on Ships
◾ Caustic embattlement will only occur when there is a high caustic alkalinity that is when the ratio of Insulation Resistance Tests of High
NaOH to the alkalinity is high. To keep this ratio at the safe level the sodium sulfate to Voltage Equipment
sodium hydroxide should be maintained above 2:5.
◾ The sodium sulfate comes out of solution in high sodium hydroxide concentration and by doing Earthing Down in High Voltage System
forms a protective layer on the surface of the plate.

What is pH value for boiler water ? Lambda Controller and Jet Assist
System on Ships
◾ It is the logarithm of reciprocal of hydrogen iron concentration.
Pneumatic Control Systems on Ships
◾ The oxygen-scavenging chemical which is used for deaeration the water are usually
sodium sulphate or hydrazine.
◾ 2Na2SO3 + O2 = 2Na2SO4
◾ N2H4 + O2 = 2H2O +N2 Tags
◾ Excessive dosage of hydrazine could lead to steam and condensate line corrosion due
to ammonia being produced as the excess hydrazine decomposed. air compressors air conditioning
◾ In high pressure boiler, by using the sodium sulphite, the sulphite can break down to give boiler boiler blow down boilers cargo cargo
hydrogen sulphide which can attack steel brass and copper. pumps centrifugal pumps chemical tankers
◾ If exhaust gas and oil fired can be used the same time, it is termed the composite boiler. marine
system main engine
◾ In this type a separate tube nest of tube for exhaust gas is provided, situated above the return engineering marine
tubes from the fire furnace.

What do you understand by economizer boiler ?
◾ In this system a separate exhaust gas economizer is connected to an oil fired auxiliary boiler or an
accumulator by means of piping and a set of circulation pump.
◾ Exhaust gas is used as heating medium and it has no steam space.
◾ Accumulation pressure is the rise in boiler pressure which take place when the spring
loaded safety valve lift due to the increase loading caused by further compression of the spring.
How do you take action if one of the passages of gauge glass is chocked ?
◾ Steam and water cocks and passages in the gauge can be cleared while the boiler is
still steaming.
◾ To do this, shut the steam and water cocks and open the drain cock.
◾ Remove the check plug opposite the obstruction.
◾ Insert the cleaning plug. Screw in the plug with small hole about 5 mm diameter, drilled through it
in place of the cleaning plug.
◾ Insert into this hole a rod of such a size that held by a gloved hand, it can be easily moved without
being stuck.
◾ Then open the chocked and push the rod through to clear the blockage.
◾ When clear, open drain to prevent a build up of pressure and only a small amount of steam will
blow past the rod, the glove protecting the operator from injury.
◾ Then close the cock and replace the normal cleaning plug. The gauge glass can be tested
now and if satisfactory return to service.
◾ Do not carry out this operation on a plate type glass on a high pressure boiler.
