ExampleWorking out a corrosion rate

A wall reads 0.500 inch, then 0.480 inch four years later. What is the corrosion rate?

  1. 0.002 inch a year
  2. 0.005 inch a yearYour answer
  3. 0.020 inch a year
  4. 0.080 inch a year
  1. You: How do I get a corrosion rate from two thickness readings?
  2. Patch

    Subtract the later reading from the earlier one to get the metal lost, then divide by the years between the readings. Losing 0.020 inch over 4 years is 0.005 inch a year.

    Key point

    Corrosion rate is metal lost divided by the time between readings.
