What is the pitting potential give examples of factors which influence the value of the pitting potential?
Pitting potential is the potential where the pitting start and this is noticed when the current is suddenly increased that also mean below this value, now pitting corrosion will initiate Many parameters can effluence the pitting potential such as Temperature, halides ions, surface finishing of the alloy and also state of the electrolyte , is it flowing or stagnant.
Why pitting is dangerous?
In a boiler, pitting is dangerous because it weakens the boiler plate by reducing its thickness and strength. A pit that reduces the boiler plate thickness (at its weakest point) to 1/4 of the original thickness will fail at its Maximum Allowable Working Pressure. The weakest point is typically at the longitudinal joint (welded or riveted boilers) and pitting, grooving and cracking at this joint is closely monitored in all boilers.

What is nonpitting edema?
Non-pitting edema is a type of swelling. Pitting edema occurs when the swollen area is pressed and remains indented. The indentation does not occur with non-pitting edema.
What causes destructive gear pitting?
Pitting= Too high surface pressure on gear or lack of lubrication
What is pitting oedema?

Can pneumonia cause pitting edema in legs?
yes
Do you grade non-pitting edema?
Pitting edema is edema severe enough to leave a dent when pressed with a finger. Pitting edema is assessed by pushing gently with a finger and evaluating the response. Mild is a one plus, moderate is a two plus, deep is a three plus, and very deep is a four plus.
