Abstract :
Experiments have been conducted to show the effects of H2S, SO2, NO2and Cl2in simple and complex mixtures on several contact materials. The results have led to the use of two complex mixtures, with and without Cl2and containing 200 ppb each of H2S, SO2and NO2for industrial environment simulation. Acceleration factors were estimated to be on the order of 30-40 times at 30°C.
