The ASTM G50-20 standard practice offers instructions and a set of steps for assessing the corrosion resistance of metals when exposed to outdoor environments. The standard acknowledges that the environment, including the weather, might make corrosion testing more challenging. Therefore, a prolonged exposure duration is advised to reduce the impact of these elements. The standard also suggests keeping samples of all exposed materials so that long-term aging can be assessed and using control specimens, which should be manufactured from materials with known weathering characteristics. As a significant resource for individuals doing atmospheric corrosion experiments, ASTM G50-20 focuses on panel exposures to gather data for comparison.
