The corrosion engineer is often confronted with selecting materials for corrosive environments that may be associated with new chemical processes or with the modification of existing chemical process streams. The first step in such a selection procedure may involve laboratory testing of candidate materials. Tests may involve weight loss determinations on immersion test coupons after exposure to a representative environment for some arbitrary time period. Electrochemical test procedures may also be used for evaluation.
