TABLE 4.1. Effect of shelter (Larrabee 1966)
Test Site Semi Rural Marine Atmosphere
East Practically no effect of shelter
The specimen located in position
two (next to the top specimen in
vertical row) lost from 150 to 250
percent more weight than the
specimens in positions four and five.
The top specimen, and that in the
third position, lost from 50 to 100
percent more weight than those in
positions four and five.
North
The two bottom specimens were
about 20 percent more corroded
than those in the other three
positions.
South
The specimen in position two lost
about 75 percent more weight than
those in positions four and five.
West
The two bottom specimens were
about 20 percent less corroded
than those in the other three
positions.
All losses were within 30 percent of
average for all five vertical positions.
