9、rrosiveness of a material or thecorrosivity of water must be determined in relative,rather thanabsolute,terms.The tendency for a material to corrode isnormally determined by measuring its rate of corrosion andcomparing it with the corrosion rates of other materials in thesame water environment.Conve
10、rsely,the relative corrosivityof water may be determined by comparing the corrosion rate ofa material in the water with the corrosion rates of the samematerial in other waters.Such tests are useful,for example,forevaluating the effects of corrosion inhibitors on the corrosivityof water.Although this
