Abstract
Many methods of exposing atmospheric corrosion test specimens are described. It is shown that steel specimens, when mounted on racks at an angle of 30° to the horizontal, corrode less on the surface exposed to the sky than on the side toward the ground. In applications such as roofs where the under side of the sheet is not exposed, the expected life might be two or more times that indicated by tests where both sides are exposed.Keywords
