FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by
had been approved
by the Metallurgical
the Corrosion Protection
Sectional
Committee,
Engineering Division Council.
The corrosivity category established in IS 14191 : 1995 is a general term in a form suitable for
engineering purposes, which describes the corrosion properties
of atmospheres based on present
knowledge of atmospheric corrosion.
Guiding corrosion values give corrosion rates for standard structural materials and can be used
The guiding corrosion values specify the technical content of each
for engineering calculations.
of the individual corrosivity categories for these standard metals.
This standard can be used for prediction of the service life for metals, alloys and metallic coatings
used in atmospheres
of different corrosivity
categories
(see Table 1 ). The guiding corrosion
values also provide a technical basis for determination
of the need for protective measures and
other engineering purposes.
The guiding corrosion values are based on experience obtained from a large number of site
exposures and service performance.
Corrosion rates expected for a given corrosivity category
may be exceeded in the vicinity of special design features which cause localized or galvanic
corrosion.
While formulating
this standard assistance has been
