The reproducibility of corrosion testing in supercritical water—Results of an international interlaboratory comparison exercise

A major challenge in supercritical water-cooled reactor development is the lack of a consistent alloydatabase. An international interlaboratory comparison test was organized to study the reproducibility ofweight change data obtained for identical alloys under similar conditions in different facilities. This paperpresents the test procedures, conditions, results, and additional characterization data. More variation inweight change was observed than expected. The scatter was small within the same laboratory, but largebetween different laboratories. Much of this variation appears to be attributable to differences in testfacilities. The data generally agree on the relative ranking of the corrosion resistance.
