NACE RP0497
Field Corrosion Evaluation Using Metallic Test Specimens
| Organization: | NACE |
| Publication Date: | 22 December 1997 |
| Status: | active |
| Page Count: | 26 |
scope:
This standard describes how field corrosion testing using metallic test specimens is conducted, what types of corrosion information may be obtained, and how test racks and test specimens are designed. A summary of critical data that must be recorded is provided. Guidelines for interpreting and reporting test results are also discussed.
Corrosion fatigue can be a serious problem, but no field methods of testing are known. Therefore, corrosion-fatigue testing is outside the scope of this standard.
