M - Austenitic Stainless SteelP - CaseAp - Oil and GasCd - Crevice
Cm - Aspect Before AnalysisDf - Corrosion
The case where the electronic device was installed suffered a localized corrosion that allowed the seawater to wet the internal side, destroying it. The position where the leakage occurred originally presented a hole that was sealed with a plug and the corrosion occurred in a crevice condition.

Aspect of the piping cut in the longitudinal direction, presenting the leakage region close to the welded joint between the pipe and the 90° elbow. The original SCH 40 (3.7 mm thickness) presents an actual average thickness of 2 mm all through the piping extension, evidencing a general thinning. See the schematic drawing in the next figure.
