Carbon Steel – Environment C5-I

The environment that the ISO 12944-2 Standard identifies with the atmospheric corrosivity class C5-I, that is very high, typical of industrial areas, concerns buildings or areas with almost permanent condensation and high pollution. These are buildings such as petrochemical plants and thermal power plants, which are usually located in industrial areas with high humidity and an aggressive atmosphere.

Low carbon steel structures have a mass loss from 650 to 1500g / m2 and from 80 to 200µm thickness.
