Abstract

Abstract Atmospheric corrosivity is classified according to EN ISO 9223 Corrosion of metals and alloys – Corrosivity of atmospheres – Classification, determination and estimation. For the determination and estimation of the corrosivity category, standardized approaches are used. Monitoring of corrosivity with the application of various sensors is an actual trend. The paper gives results of verification of some types of sensors for this monitoring with standardized flat samples at atmospheric test sites in the Czech Republic. The trend of decreasing atmospheric corrosivity is evident in the last decade. Monitoring of the corrosion rate and mapping of the corrosivity become a very important step in preventing failures in long-term atmospheric exposition. This type of monitoring was used on bridge construction to estimate the seasonal effect of de-icing salts deposition, too.
