This standard provides general information on accelerated tests for atmospheric corrosion.

This Section provides general information on accelerated tests for atmospheric corrosion.The purpose of this Section is to provide background information on accelerated tests for atmospheric corrosion, e.g. contamination or deterioration of surface coatings due to corrosive atmospheres. It discusses various types of test, assesses their strengths and weaknesses and suggests what use can be made of them and what conclusions can be drawn.Different applications of accelerated tests are covered including tests to predict performance under various conditions of use; tests to check the quality of materials and the influence of materials on each other and tests to check the functioning of equipment under corrosive conditions. Information is given on the standardizing of accelerated tests and the conclusions which can be drawn.
