CPT

The critical pitting test is defined in ASTM G150-99. This procedure describes the use of CPT testing for stainless steel
samples. This technique is mainly used in commercial and research corrosion labs to obtain relevant information on
crevice propagation and critical pitting temperature of the samples.
At a constant anodic potential, a simultaneous temperature increase is applied at a rate of 1 ºC/min and current is
measured. The temperature at which a rapid increase in current is observed is the critical pitting temperature of the
sample.

Application: Pit propagation, pitting resistance and critical pitting temperature for lab testing of SS samples
