Abstract

OXYGEN, HUMIDITY, air pollutants, and dust are the chief causes of atmospheric corrosion in industrial plant and equipment. Oxygen, of course, is always present in air at a constant concentration. The chief variables which affect the plant's atmospheric corrosion loss are, therefore, humidity, electrolytes in the air, and dust. These components may be corrosive by themselves or many promote the corrosive effect of oxygen.
