Frequently Asked Questions

What does this calculator calculate?

The Corrosion Inhibitor Dosage Rate for Flowing Water Systems calculator estimates Inhibitor dosage rate based on the input parameters you provide

Why is target inhibitor concentration important in this calculation?

target inhibitor concentration is used directly in the calculation of inhibitor dosage rate. Its effect on the result depends on the complete formula and the values of the other inputs.. When you enter target inhibitor concentration in kg/m^3, the calculator uses it in the engineering formula to compute the output

How should I interpret the result inhibitor dosage rate?

The calculator outputs inhibitor dosage rate in kg/s. To convert to kg/h, multiply the result by 3600. To convert to g/s, multiply by 1000. The result is computed directly from the input values using the defined engineering formula

What units should I use for the inputs?

Enter each value in the units shown next to the input field: Target inhibitor concentration (kg/m^3), Volumetric flow rate of water (m^3/s), Wetted internal pipe surface area (m^2), Inhibitor depletion coefficient (m/s). Make sure all inputs use the specified units for consistent results

What assumptions does this calculator use?
