This research presents the results of an experimental study of five parameters identified as having a significant influence on Top of the Line Corrosion: partial pressure of CO2, condensation rate, gas temperature, organic acid concentration and gas velocity. A comprehensive analysis of the effect of each of these five parameters on the type of corrosion is performed. In addition, considerations regarding the importance of the condensation process are discussed.
