Temporary corrosion protection for plant construction equipment outside of Central Europe. „Temporary protection against corrosion” consists of measures for the prevention of damage to equipment by corrosion within a given limited period of time. Essentially, it consists in the protection of machinery, apparatus, fittings, pipelines, measuring and control equipment etc. against atmospheric corrosion in the time between the fabrication of such equipment by the manufacturer and its assembly or commissioning by the firm who is to run the plant. A guaranteed protection against corrosion for a period of two years and more is not unusual. Apart from corrosion, the equipment is also subject to mechanical wear and tear. Worth mentioning here are wear and tear due to, inter alia: buffering during transport by rail; rolling during transport by ship; bending and knocking during loading and unloading; compression during stacking in ships holds and in wharehouses; vibration during transportation. These, in part, quite considerable mechanical stresses which the equipment is subjected to should be taken into account, on the one hand when constructing and installing the equipment, and, on the other, when protecting the equipment against corrosion and when packing.
