Abstract:
In order to predict the corrosion depth of a district heating pipeline, it is necessary to analyze various corrosion factors. In this study, the relationship between corrosion factors such as pH, dissolved oxygen, and operating time and corrosion depth was investigated using the Box-Behnken method within the response surface methodology. To accelerate the corrosion process, galvanostatic tests were conducted in synthetic district heating water. Subsequently, a multiple regression analysis was performed using the measured corrosion depth to derive a formula for predicting the corrosion depth as a function of the corrosion factors. As a result, the following regression formula was derived for predicting the corrosion depth: "corrosion depth (μm) = -133 + 17.1 pH + 0.00072 DO + 125.2 Time - 7.95 pH × Time + 0.002921 DO × Time".

Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:
