[Display omitted] •Effects of different parameters on corrosion rate at the bottom of a jet loop reactor were studied.•Digital close-range photogrammetric technique has been employed.•Parameters studied are circulation flow rate, nozzle diameter, and nozzle height. The current task intends to research the impact of various operating and geometrical parameters on the corrosion rate of a jet loop reactor bottom. Photogrammetry is a recent surveying method that has been used to picture and measure the corrosion rate. Henceforth, the three dimensional model of the affected regions of the reactor which are under investigation have been formed by one of the photogrammetric methods. The physical properties of the solution (viscosity and density), the nozzle height, the nozzle diameter and the flow rate of circulation are the variable that are being studied. A dimensionless equation was developed from the experimental data, which will be a useful tool for prediction of the corrosion rate at the jet loop reactor bottom within the present range of operating conditions.
