Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Well conducted study, according to UN recommendations, certificate of analysis included.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Recommendations on the transport of dangerous goods, Manual of tests and criteria, United Nations, New York and Geneva, Rev.5, 2009.
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
other: the uniform and pitting corrosion
Results:
Carbon steel SAE 1020
The corrosion rates of SAE 1020 in the liquid phase are above the corrosion threshold of 6.25 mm/year in p-TSC

Aluminium 7075 T6
The corrosion rates of Aluminium 7075 T6 in the liquid phase are above the corrosion threshold of 6.25 mm/year in p-TSC.
The maximum intrusion depth of the pits, exposed in the vapour phase is <120 µm.

An overview of the results is given for C-Steel and Aluminium in tables below.

The corrosion form is uniform, except the coupon exposed in the vapor/liquid phase, this contains pitting in the vapour part. The minimum intrusion depth of aluminum is lower than the given threshold 120μm.

 

Conclusions:
According to the criteria in the UN Standard mentioned above aqueous p-TSC should be classified as corrosive.
