Corrosion test with clorine
Corrosion test with clorine
(OP)
Dear all,
I am searching for a corrosion test with chlorine.
Similar to an ammonia test or salt spray test I want test corrosion resistance of some metals. These metals will be in a swimming pool environment and therefore the need for chlorine testing.
Any ASTM standards available on this?
What should I be careful about? I heard it is pretty dangerous.
Thanks

Chlorine gas is extremely toxic and relatively low concentrations can kill you.

In reality it is the wet/dry cycling that causes real issues.
I have caused SCC failure in parts that I was holding in my hand.
This is why you are seeing a lot of duplex SS being used in pool hardware. It is much stronger than 300 grades and has significant resistance to SCC.
