Abstract
The distribution of raw water in the fertilizer industry in the North Aceh area that uses pipes has been used for approximately 33 years. The majority of the pipe material is concealed under the soil which is one of many media that contributes in external corrosion on metals. This research has been conducted to see the effect of soil properties on different environments on the rate of corrosion that occurs in carbon steel materials. The corrosion rate is calculated by the weight loss method which refers to ASTM G 162. The tested specimens use SA 283 standard carbon steel pipe with the time of buried specimens for 3 months or 2160 h. This research was conducted on 5 different soil sites along the pipe buried line. The results show the highest corrosion rate (0.45 mm/yr) that occurs during the experiment. It’s believed that the soil has the highest redox potential with a high acidity level as well. In general, all land in underground pipelines has the potential to cause external corrosion of underground pipes.
