Cooper-Gorman curves

The most practical corrosion rate correlations seem to be the so-called Cooper-Gorman curves based on a survey conducted by the NACE Committee T-8 on Refining Industry Corrosion. A modified Cooper-Gorman curve is shown in Figure 1.4. To facilitate use of these curves the original segments of the curves have been extended (dashed lines). 

Stainless steels containing at least 18% Cr are often required for complete immunity to corrosion because Cooper-Gorman curves are primarily based on corrosion rate data for an all-vapor system partial condensation can be expected to increase corrosion rates because of droplet impingement.
