NOTES
*
The nomenclatur
e of items, defi
nition of terms and units shall comply with the JIS K 0101. The units and values in ( ) ar
e conventional ones put her
e for r
efer
ence.
**
The mark X indicates factors af
fecting the corr
osive or scale-forming tendency
.
***
When temperatur
e is high (above 40°C), corr
osiveness generally incr
eases. Especially
, when ir
on/steel surface has no pr
otective film and is in dir
ect contact with water
, it is desirable to take adequate countermeasur
es against corr
osion, such as addition of corr
osion inhibitor and
deaeration tr
eatment
****
For the cooling water system using a closed-type cooling tower
, the water quality standar
d for the mid-range temperatur
e water sysem shall be applied to the closed-cir
cuit r
ecir
culating/spray water and its make-up water
, while the water quality standar
d for the r
ecir
culating
cooling water system shall be applied to the spray water and its make-up water
, r
espectively
.
++
City water
, industrial water and gr
ound water shall be used as sour
ce water
, and demineralized water
, r
eclaimed water
, softened water
, etc. shall be excluded.

The 15 items listed above show typical factors of corr
osion and scale pr
