Part 2. Classification of environments
1 Scope
1.1 This Part of GB/T 30790 deals with the classification of the principal environments
to which steel structures are exposed, and the corrosivity of these environments. It
-- defines atmosphere-corrosivity categories, based on mass loss (or thickness loss)
by standard specimens, and describes typical natural atmospheric environments
to which steel structures are exposed, giving advice on the estimation of the
corrosivity;
-- describes different categories of environment for structures immersed in water or
buried in soil;
-- gives information on some special corrosion stresses that may cause a significant
increase in corrosion rate or place higher demands on the performance of the
protective paint system.
The corrosion stresses associated with a particular environment or corrosivity category
represent one essential parameter governing the selection of protective paint systems.
1.2 This Part does not deal with the classification of those environments that consist
of special atmospheres (for example those in and around chemical and metallurgical
plants).
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this
document. For dated references, only the edition dated applies to this document. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced documents (including all
amendments) applies to this document.

Classification (GB/T 19292.1-2003, ISO 9223.1992, IDT)
dew point);
-- an increase in the amount of pollution in the atmosphere (the corrosive pollutants
can react with the steel and may form deposits on the surface).
Experience has shown that significant corrosion is likely to take place if the relative
humidity is above 80% and around the temperature above 0°C. However, if pollutants
and/or hygroscopic salts are present, corrosion occurs at much lower humidity levels.
The atmospheric humidity and air temperature in a particular region of the world will
depend on the climate prevailing in that part of the world. A brief description of the most
important climates is given in Annex A.
The location of the constituent element of a structure also influences corrosion. Where
structures are exposed to the open air, climatic parameters such as rain and sunshine
and pollutants in the form of gases or aerosols affect corrosion. Under cover, the
climatic influences are reduced. Indoors, the effect of atmospheric pollutants is
reduced, although a locally high corrosion rate caused by poor ventilation, high
humidity or condensation is possible.
For the estimation of the corrosion stresses, an appreciation of the local environment
and the micro-environment is essential. Examples of decisive micro-environments are
the underside of a bridge (particularly over water), the roof of an indoor swimming pool,
and the sunny and shady sides of a building.
4.2 Corrosion in water and soil
Special care shall be taken when considering structures that are partly immersed in
water or partly buried in soil. Corrosion under such conditions is often restricted to a
small part of the structure where the corrosion rate can be high. Exposure tests for
estimating the corrosivity of water or soil environments are not recommended.
However, different immersion/burial conditions can be described.
4.2.1 Structures immersed in water
The type of water – fresh, brackish or salt – has a significant influence on the corrosion
of steel. Corrosivity is also influenced by the oxygen content of the water, the type and
quantity of dissolved substances and the water temperature. Animal or vegetable
growth can accelerate corrosion.
Three different zones for immersion in water can be defined.
-- the underwater zone is the area which is permanently exposed to water;
-- the intermediate (fluctuating level) zone is the area in which the water level
changes due to natural or artificial effects, thus giving rise to increased corrosion

Special cases
B.1 Special situations
B.1.1 Corrosion inside buildings
Corrosion stresses on steel structures located inside buildings sheltered from the
outside environment are generally insignificant.
If the interior of the building is only partly sheltered from the outside environment, the
corrosion stresses may be assumed to be the same as those associated with the type
of atmosphere surrounding t...
