The atmospheric corrosivity maps in Venezuela

TL;DRAbstract

The aggressiveness of the Venezuelan atmospheric environment was assessed by measuring climate and pollution factors and determining the corrosion rate of A-36 carbon steel, 3003 Al, Cu, and Zn. So, this paper presents the atmospheric corrosivity maps in Venezuela (MVCAT) for A-36 Carbon Steel, 3003 Al and Cu. This projects was developed by a group of Venezuelan interinstitutional researchers using the results obtained during the first year of evaluation. To that effect is therefore proposing a new concept for reporting the characterization of an atmosphere in a single map, allowing corrosion rate and meteorological and chemical parameters that chiefly affect each particular microclimate to be show there on. The new concept proposed herein comprises an atmospheric-corrosivity map consisting of pies, not isolines or colors as usually the case when reporting results. In a pie, it is very easy to establish climatological and corrosivity differences in the regions evaluated here in Venezue
