Overview of HF-Compass

HF-Compass is the only device and OS independent predictive software on the market for the modeling and prediction of corrosion by aqueous hydrofluoric acid and anhydrous HF. Designers, engineers, consultants, maintenance and inspection personnel can quickly assess and quantify the impact of process variables on the corrosion rate and the remaining life of piping, vessels, and other equipment handling aqueous hydrofluoric acid or anhydrous HF.

 

Figures below demonstrate the operation of HF-Compass. With HF-Compass, corrosion prediction and materials selection for HF services are as easy as 1-2-3.

(1) Select the material from the dropdown list,

(2) Enter the temperature and the concentration of hydrofluoric acid

(3) Review the prediction results

 

HF-Compass predicts the boiling point of the hydrofluoric acid (HF), the corrosion rate of the selected alloy at the specified temperature and concentration, the remaining life of the component, and the resistance of coatings/linings under the prevailing operating conditions. In addition to that, HF-Compass also plots the isocorrosion diagram for the selected alloy so as to give users a complete picture of the corrosion behavior of the selected alloy across the entire ranges of the HF acid concentration and the service temperature.

HF-Compass predicts corrosion rates for the following steels and alloys in aqueous hydrofluoric acid at any temperatures and concentrations:

90-10 copper nickel
70-30 copper nickel
Carbon steel
Alloy 200
Alloy 400
Alloy C-22
Alloy G-30
Alloy 59
Alloy C-2000
Alloy 600
Alloy 625
Alloy 686
Alloy 690
Alloy C-22HS
Alloy 20
Alloy 825
Alloy C-276
Alloy HYBRID-BC1
Alloy B-2
Alloy B-3
Type 316 SS
Type 316L SS

More alloys will be added to the software database as and when corrosion data are available. If you cannot find the alloy of your interest in HF-Compass software, do let us know and we will conduct the necessary research work to have your alloys included in the software.

 

For alloys not resistant to corrosion under the prevailing operating conditions, coatings/linings can be used to provide the required corrosion resistance. HF-Compass allows users to evaluate the suitability of coatings/linings for corrosion protection (Figure 3 below).

 

Figure 3 HF-Compass allows users to select suitable coatings/linings for corrosion protection in hydrofluoric acid services

 

HF-Compass also predicts corrosion by anhydrous hydrofluoric acid for metals and alloys (Figures 4 and 5).
