Björn Helmersson, corrosion specialist at Outokumpu’s R&D facilities in Avesta, Sweden, explains the background to critical pitting temperature (CPT) testing. This information helps design engineers rank and compare different stainless steel grades for their resistance to pitting corrosion. CPT data is useful for any application exposed to chloride-contaminated water and is particularly important for the oil and gas and marine industries.
