DRI - Passivation Requirement

Direct-Reduced Iron passivation check per IMSBC - (A, B, C) grade determines inerting / cooling requirement.

DRIPassivationIMSBC
Requirement
Inert hold (O₂ < 5 %), monitor H₂

Formula, assumptions, and limits

$$\text{Req} = f(\text{DRI grade})$$

DRI(C) moisture-sensitive: can self-heat + release H₂. IMSBC DRI(B) schedule requires < 49 °C load temperature + inert atmosphere throughout voyage.
