What should be the approximate thickness of a wall for better performa

1.	What should be the approximate thickness of a wall for better performance if the corrosion rate of that wall is estimated as 1/8 inches in 1 year?(a) 1/2 inches(b) 1/8 inches(c) 1/4 inches(d) 1/16 inchesThe question was asked in a job interview.My question comes from Prevention topic in division Corrosion Prevention of Corrosion Engineering
Answer» Right option is (c) 1/4 inches To explain: The approximate thickness of a wall should be twice that of the estimated CORROSION rate to meet the MECHANICAL requirements such as pressure, WEIGHT, and stress. Hence, the thickness of the given wall is 2*(1/8) = ¼ inches.
