Hi All,
Does anyone have expierence with CP on elevated temperature stroage tanks (or on any tank). I am familiar with design for regular temp tanks but was not sure if there is something about elevated temperature that make it not work or some trick I need to know. I know for a regular storage tank to assume a current density of 10 mA/m2 and have found a reference that says to increase this for every 10degC above 30degC.... so for me at 160 degC 180 mA/m2????
I do plan to read API 651 in detail tomorrow but interested in any real life experience.
