The critical pitting temperatures have been determined for 11 stainless steels by use of a potentiostatic test method simulating the service conditions in chlorinated seawater. The results are evaluated in terms of the PREN value of the alloys and compared with results from other tests.

Statistical analysis have been applied to see if the differences in mean critical pitting temperature found are significant.
