ISO 18069:2015
Corrosion of metals and alloys - Method for determination of the uniform corrosion rate of stainless steels and nickel based alloys in liquids
ISO 18069:2015 specifies the measurements of the corrosion rate of uniform corrosion for stainless steels and nickel based alloys in the intended liquids and the ability for the material to passivate after activation. This method is intended to be used for estimation of the uniform corrosion rate in liquids, under atmospheric conditions, for the chemical industry under specific environmental conditions and not as a qualification test. It can also be used to determine iso-corrosion diagrams and at which temperature the corrosion rate exceeds 0,1 mm/a.ISO 18069:2015 is not intended for excessive corrosion rates above 1 mm/a since an even higher corrosion rate indicates that the stainless steel is not suitable in the application. Nor is it intended to be used for solutions containing halides, especially chlorides, since these might cause localized corrosion.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!
