Hot-dip Galvanized Steel – Environment C5-M

The environment that the ISO 12944-2 Standard identifies with the atmospheric corrosivity class C5-M, that is very high, typical of marine areas, concerns buildings or areas with almost permanent condensation and high pollution such as industrial plants, refineries, power plants and steel mills. Such structures are usually placed in coastal and offshore areas with high salinity.

The hot galvanized steel structures have a loss of mass from 30 to 60 g / m2 and from 4.2 to 8.4 µm of thickness.
