The concentration level of corrosive airborne contaminants in a data center should meet the
requirements listed in the white paper entitled
Gaseous and Particulate Contamination
Guidelines for Data Centers published in 2011
by the American Society of Heating,
Refrigerating and Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Technical Committee (TC) 9.9.
According to the Guidelines, corrosive airborne contaminants in a data center should meet the
following requirements:
l
Copper corrosion rate
Less than 300 Å/month per ANSI/ISA-71.04-1985 severity level G1.
l
Silver corrosion rate
Less than 200 Å/month.
NOTE
Å, or angstrom, is a unit of length. One Å is equal to 1/10,000,000,000 meter.
According to ANSI/ISA-71.04-1985 Environmental Conditions for Process Measurement and
Control Systems: Airborne Contaminants, the gaseous corrosivity levels are G1 (mild), G2
(moderate), G3 (harsh), and GX (severe), as described in
Table 7-5

Description
G1 (mild)
300 Å/month
An environment sufficiently well-controlled
such that corrosion is not a factor in
determining equipment reliability.
G2 (moderate)
300 Å/month to 1000
Å/month
An environment in which the effects of
corrosion are measurable and may be a factor
in determining equipment reliability.
