Note:
1. The item names, their definitions, and units are based on JIS K 0101. Units and figures in
braces are those which were used formerly. They are shown here for reference purposes.
2. In the “Tendency” column, a white circle (O) indicates that a particular item is a factor in
corrosion/scale formation.
3. Generally speaking, when the water temperature is high (104°F (40°C) or higher),
corrosion develops noticeably. Especially when steel material which makes direct contact
with water has no protective covering, it is desirable to provide a suitable corrosion-
preventive measure, such as adding a corrosion-preventive agent or applying deaeration
treatment.
