determining equipment
reliability.
G2 (moderate)
< 1000 Å/month
< 1000 Å/month
Corrosion effects are
measurable and corrosion
might be a factor.
G3 (harsh)
< 2000 Å/month
< 2000 Å/month
High probability that
corrosive attack will occur.
GX (severe)
≥ 2000 Å/month
≥ 2000 Å/month
Only specially designed and
packaged devices are
expected to survive.
