About This Item
Identification, Repair, and Mitigati on of Cracking of Steel Equipment in Fuel Ethanol Service Usage of fuel ethanol as an oxygenat e additive in gasoline blends is increasing, both in the United Stat es and internationally. This document discusses stress corrosion cracking ( SCC) of carbon steel tanks, piping and equipment exposed to fuel ethanol as a consequence of being in the distribution system, at eth anol distribution facilities, or end user facilities where the fuel ethanol is eventually added to gasoline. Such equipment includes but is not limited to: • storage tanks,• piping and related handling equipment, and• pipelines that are used in distributi on, handling, storage, and blending of fuel ethanol. However, data for pipelines in ethanol service is limited and caution should be used when applying guidelines from this document, which have been derived mainly from applications in volving piping and tanks in ethanol storage and blending facili ties. SCC of other metals and alloys is beyond the scope of this document, as is the corrosion of steel in this service
