Type in the appropriate values in the spaces provided and then hit the
button entitled "Run Calculator".
Make sure that the appropriate units for the corrosion current have been
selected
You can rerun the calculator after receiving your answer by returning to
the previous page and entering new values in the spaces provided.
If you do not know the alloy density, open the Table of Selected Alloy
Denisities and use a value for an alloy that most closely resembles yours.
If you do not know the alloy equivalent weight, open the Table of
Equivalent Weights and use a value for an alloy and valence state that
most closely resembles yours.
If the alloy or valence is not listed in the Table of Selected Alloy
Equivalent Weights use the Equivalent Weight Estimator to obtain the
entry.
See the the CALCTUTORIAL (Tutorial on Corrosion Calculator) for
information on obtaining values for the corrosion current and equivalent
weights.

Enter the corrosion current denisty.

microamp/cm2
amp/cm2

Enter the equivalent weight. Some values are in Table of Selected Equivalent
Corrosion Economics Weights
Estimator Use the Equivalent Weight Estimator to make an estimate for an alloy or valence
not listed.
gm/mole

Enter the density of the alloy. Some values are in Table of Selected Alloy
Denisities
