Abstract
The experiment revealed that corrosion rate decreases with an increase in distance from the gas flare point. That is, the farther the metal is away from the flare point; the less corrosive it becomes and the nearer the metal to the flare point, the more corrosive it becomes. Furthermore, the developed model when compared with the experimental results showed that corrosion rate increased with an increase in time and anodic current density and decreased with an increase in distance. The result also showed that out of the four different metals used for the experiments, only iron and zinc showed significant loss in weight whereas aluminum and steel showed little or no loss in weight.
