Abstract
A comparison is made between the atmospheric corrosion of unprotected carbon steel in outdoor exposures and results from laboratory tests. The atmospheric corrosion in the outdoor exposures is expressed as a function of certain atmospheric parameters (e.g. SO~2~ concentration). In the laboratory tests the atmosphere consisted of air containing known amounts of SO~2~ and water vapour. The experiments were carried out in such a way that both supply and deposition of SO~2~ was known. There was good agreement between the empirical formula and the results from the laboratory tests provided that the supply of SO~2~ in the laboratory test was below ca. 0.5 μg · h^−1^ · CM^−2^.
