1.1 This standard presents guidelines for determination of data elements (fields) for data collection to aid in thedevelopment of computerized corrosion databases. These guidelines facilitate database structuring to (a)accommodate data from diverse sources, (b) provide comparisons between metals and nonmetals, (c) integrate dataemphasizing various forms of corrosion, (d) ensure compatibility between various corrosion and other materialproperty databases, and (e) permit data search strategies to meet specific user interests.

1.2 This standard is intended to be a general guide for designing data input formats. Certain specialized corrosiontests may require additional data elements to fully characterize the data recorded. This standard does not precludethese additions. Various standard guides developed by ASTM(1) Committees E 49 and G 01(2) may be helpful.

1.3 Reliable comparisons of corrosion data from multiple sources are expedited if data are provided for as many ofthe listed fields as possible. When data are limited, some degree of uncertainty is present.

1.4 This standard is not directed toward recording data from electrochemical corrosion tests.

1.5 Data categories and fields listed for nonmetals emphasize identification and performance data for engineeringpolymers. Additional descriptors should be added when data for ceramics, composites, or other types of nonmetalsare compiled.

1.6 This standard provides a useful reference to be consulted before initiating a corrosion test to ensure plans aremade to record relevant data.
