This is a very general question. What do you want to store in these tanks? What is the environment? What is the metal? (I assume you are talking about metals?) Do you foresee coating, anodic protection?

Due to complex/multiple variables as mentioned before, actually, its difficult to make the predictive models of corrosion..

Dear Dr. Bilal Zerouali ,

as correctly said by Dr. Frank Druyts , the topic is very broad and I suggest you to have a first look at the following, interesting papers:

My best regards, Pierluigi Traverso.

Frank Druyts

Thank you

I'm talking about metal tanks, for storing oil and gas.

Pierluigi Traverso

Thank you for your help,

These are very important papers.

Hi Bilal,

you might also want to consult API 571 for the practical aspects of inspections.

Frank Druyts

Thank you very much.

regards.

Hello, doctor. For instance, I recommend reading international references such as API and ASME on the following link https://inspectioneering.com/discuss/2005-06-20/2573/api-650-vs-asme-b-311-corrosio
