Reactance, denoted X, is a form of opposition that electronic components exhibit to the passage of alternating current (alternating current) because of capacitance or inductance. In some respects, reactance is like an AC counterpart of DC (direct current) resistance.
3.5.3 Stress corrosion cracking Stress corrosion cracking is a phenomenon which can occur in metals exposed to acombination of stress and corrosive environment. The corrosive environment will, undercertain circumstances, destabilise the protective oxide layer, without causing generalcorrosion. 4. INSPECTION PHILOSOPHY Inspection of low temperature ammonia tanks is a compromise between a need forknowledge about the tank condition and the negative effects of opening the tank forinspection, which will cause thermal stress and ingress of oxygen.
