REMAINING LIFE CALCULATION FROM API 510 / 653 / 570

2004 2007
t (initial) t (actual)
1. Corrosion Rate = 7.8 — 3.24

(Long Term) 15 year = 0.304 mm / year

time(year) between t (initial) and t (actual)

2005 2007

2. Corrosion Rate = t (previous) t (actual)

(Short Term) 0 — 0
0 year = #DIV/0! mm / year
time(year) between t (previous) and t (actual)

t (actual) t (min/required)

3. Remaining Life(years) = 3.24 — 0.37

CA 0.34 per year = 8.441 years

CR Corrosion Rate (LT or ST) 101.3 Months

Unit : mm/yrs

Glossary:
t(actual)= The actual thickness, in milimeters, measured at the time of inspection for given location
or component.

t (min/required)= The required thickness, in milimeters, at same location or component as the t (actual) measurement,
Minimun Req.Thk. computed by the design formulas (e.g. pressure and structural) before corrosion allowance and
manufacturer's are added.

t (initial)= The thickness, milimeters, at same location or component as the t (actual) measured
at initial installation or the commencement of a new corrosion rate enviroment.

t (previous)= The thickness, milimeters, at same location or component as the t (actual) measured
during a previous inspection.

From API 570.

Minimun Required Thickness = MAWP x D
