Industry has developed several semi-quantitative
measures of the corrosive tendency of water.
Corrosivity is the tendency to sustain anodic or
cathodic chemical reactions. System designers and engineers
use these indices to predict the corrosion by water and to
design the proper pretreatment equipment. Properly
interpreting these indices is critical for water-reuse
applications.
The Larson-Skold Corrosion Index (LSCI) (Eq.
1) includes the effects of chlorides, sulfates and total
alkalinity. It is closely correlated to the observed
corrosion rates and type of attack in the Great Lakes water
study. If the LSCI is le
