Accelerated Corrosion Tests -
Limitations: In general, standardized accelerated laboratory corrosion tests are more simplistic and different compared with actual service conditions. Also, by their very nature, accelerated corrosion tests are designed to deviate from actual service exposure to produce results in significantly shortened time frames. Caution is therefore in order, when attempting to correlate the results of such accelerated tests to actual in-service performance. References/Literature: J. Guthrie, B. Battat and C.
