Abstract

Abstract Monthly rates of corrosion of mild steel, zinc and copper at two sites located 150 feet and 1350 feet from the sea are reported. Coupons were exposed in under both open and sheltered conditions on racks oriented at 45 degrees facing south. Climatic conditions at the Mandapam Campsite are discussed in detail and means of keeping the records reported. Rates of corrosion of the test samples are discussed in relation to the observed climatic conditions. Differences between the open and sheltered tests are compared. Among the conclusions: There is no direct relation between the corrosion rate, distance from the sea and atmospheric salinity, although salinity is an important factor in the rate. Highest rates were observed in months with high mean temperature and accompanying high average humidity and salinity. 2.2.2
