An Expanded Characterization of Environmental Severity for Naval Air Stations

Characterizing the risk of corrosion due to environmental severity is critical when developing condition-based maintenance practices, planning facility maintenance or developing predictive corrosion models. In light of that, a research study was conducted to characterize and rank the environmental severity of Naval Air Stations across the world. In addition, the research team utilized the most recent recommendation for environmental severity assessment from the AMPP SC-07 committee as a secondary effort in this study. This report will describe both the environmental severity rankings of the sites along with evaluating the effectiveness of the SC-07 recommendations.
