ISO 19280:2017

ISO 19280:2017 specifies a methodology for ranking the crevice corrosion resistance of stainless steels and related alloys when exposed to oxidizing chloride solution. This document allows the measurement of critical crevice temperatures of tube/rod type specimens equal to those of plate type ones made up of the same material by chemical initiation of crevice corrosion, but not by the electrochemical method of ISO 18070. The test method in this document defines the apparatus and the procedure used to measure the temperature of crevice corrosion initiated in pipes and tubes using cylindrical specimens. This method has also been proved to apply to plate type specimens.
