still, "Highly corrosive fluid" is too general of a statement. To break it down to the original question on "How would a piping engineer approach this?". The answer is, really what LI mentioned above. Go talk to a materials or corrosion engineer, or reference the acceptable codes and standards...
I do this frequently. You also have to have some experience with ndt techniques and their limitations. Some techniques don't find certain types of damage well so we would use something else, let me know if you have not solved this issue.

Think of it this way. The purpose of a procedure qualification is to prove that your welding procedures essential variables are established and will guide a welder to make sound welds. The purpose of a welder qualification is to prove the welder a ability to deposit sound weld metal. If either...
Chicopee, I mean no disrespect by this, but I would be careful about throwing out "rules of thumb". People in the power piping and steam/boiler world have made some really bad choices by going off of what someone said instead of referencing the industry accepted standards.
Most states accept...
This is everyday stuff in the refining world. Give me the process fluid I'll give you the info from my corrosion books.

For crying out loud. What is the specific fluid ?? Water is corrosive to bare Ayer technically. Salt water is highly corrosive in the right conditions. Corrosion comes down to process fluid and operating variables pressure temp velocity etc. api 571 covers damage mechanisms and Nace provides...
FYI. Low pressure Gaseous Oxygen is very combustible. It will react with and burn any petroleum based products including rubber, oils, thread sealant etc. You can literally have a fire inside the part and not know it until it starts changing colors.
Carbon steel above 15psi is combustible in...
metengr nailed it. ASTM produces new material specifications. When the ASME Committee for materials accepts a new material for use in PV construction, they add it to the registry designated SA. They also strike old materials from registry such as SA7 SA212 etc...
Why would you need to perform a FFS? If the vessel still has enough useable corrosion allowance, then operate it until you reach the minimum thickness. Fitness for service assessment is for after you have reached T-min or if you have single or isolated corrosion issues. You are literally...
