Corrosion Loss of the Shell and the Bulkhead Plates of the Oil Tankers According to Their Age

유조선의 선각외판 및 격벽 부식도의 선령별 변화

The corrosion loss of the shell plates and the bulkead plates of the oil tankers, nationalities of which belong to korea are determined and analyzed. The thickness of the plates are determined by use of the ultrasonic thickness meters at the check points set along the fore and aft line and the perpendicular to it. Difference between the original thickness and the determined one are given as the corrosion loss at the present age. 1. On the shell plates (1) The total mean of the corrosion loss shows the greatest value on the load water line in every age classes of the vessels. (2) The total mean of the corrosion loss on the fore and aft line shows little difference, even though it is slightly greater at the fore part, in every age classes of the vessels. (3) The corrosion loss along the perpendicular grows greater in the order of upper bilge line, light water line, freeboard line and load water line at 16 ages of the vessels, and the loss changes in the order of light water line, upper bilge line, freeboard line and load water line at 20 ages of the vessels. (4) The total mean of the corrosion loss along the light water line and upper and lower water line shows the greatest value on the fore part. That along the freeboard line and the load water line shows the greatest value on the midship part and on the after part, respectively. 2. On the bulkhead plates (1) The total mean of the corrosion loss shows the greatest value on the top part at the every age classes of the vessels. (2)The corrosion loss along the perpendicular grows greater in the order of the lower, center and upper part at every age classes of the vessels. (3) The total mean of the corrosion loss at the top part grows greater in the order of the transverse bulkhead of the side oil tank, that of center oil tank, longitudinal bulkhead of center oil tank, and transverse bulkhead of side water tank at the 20 ages of the vessels.

한국국적의 유조선 35척의 외판 및 격벽의 부식도를 선령별로 조사한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 선령 12년급의 외판의 평균부식도는 경흘수선 및 하부 만곡부선에서는 선수부가, 건현 및 상부만곡부선에서는 중앙부가, 양재흘수선에서는 선미부가 가장 높다. 2. 선령 20년급의 외판의 평균부식도는 경흘수선 및 상.하부만곡부선에서는 선수부가, 건현중앙선에서는 중앙부가, 만재 흘수선에서는 선미부가 가장 높다. 3. 측수조와 중앙유조의 횡격벽의 평균부식도는 어느 선령에서나 정부선, 상부선, 중앙선에서는 측수조가 높고, 하부선과 저부선에서는 중앙유조가 높다. 4. 중앙유조와 양측 유조의 횡격벽부식도 어느 선령에서나 중앙유조의 횡격벽 쪽이 높다. 5. 중앙유조의 종.횡격벽의 부식도는 격벽의 중앙선상부에서는 어느 선령에서나 종벽부 쪽이 높다. 6. 내부수조 및 중앙유조의 횡격벽과 같은 높이에 있는 선각외판의 건현부의 평균부식도를 비교하면, 격벽상부의 부식도가 외판의 그것보다 크다.
