Abstract
Chemical plant units and machineries are subjected to dust evolved during crushing and grinding, corrosive gases escaping from charging manholes of reactors, and minor leaks from glands of shafts (agitators or pumps), from safety vents, etc. The corrosion rates are therefore generally more than the machines installed in a mechanical fabrication shop or the civil structures like sheds.
