The corrosivity of petroleum products (gasoline and other distillates) must be determined before transportation through pipelines in order to control the internal corrosion of pipelines. The NACE TM01721 test for “Determining Corrosive Properties of Cargoes in Petroleum Product Pipelines” is considered a reference test and is the most widely used laboratory test for this purpose. The CT10 strictly follows the test method removing the subjectivity inherent to the manual test and significantly improving repeatability and reproducibility with a final evaluation which eliminates disputes between the shipper and receiver of the product.
