Prediction of atmospheric corrosion from meteorological parameters: Case of the atmospheric basin of the Costa Rican Western Central Valley

The assessment of atmospheric corrosion is currently based on studies basins (AB). models applied to the estimation imply measurements several meteorological and pollution parameters, which make complex. main parameters be considered in tropical are associated with temperature (T) relative humidity (RH). These also included calculation time humidification (TDH). In addition, pollutants chloride (Cl) sulphur dioxide (SO2). Western Central Valley (WCV) Costa Rica a low-pollution AB; therefore, it possible employ simplified few parameters. study region were analyzed terms their dependence altitude applicability empirical equations rate (Vcorr) for WCV. simple relations compared model proposed by ISO 9223-2012 standard.
