Corrosion testing in the atmosphere

However, it is desirable (especially for paint systems and duplex systems) to carry out corrosion tests in the atmosphere on panels on other specimens, which are exposed in spring and another series in autumn.

Unlike galvanic corrosion testing in electrolytes, galvanic corrosion testing in the atmosphere can be standardized because special circumstances exist that limit the number of test variables. 

For many years, different individuals and organizations have been putting specimens out in the atmosphere in all kinds of tests and shapes. There has been an attempt to standardize some of these tests, as well as the method of reporting the results. When initiating corrosion tests in the atmosphere, these standardized procedures should be consulted and used whenever possible.
