What Does CPT Stand For?

CPT stands for Critical Pitting Temperature

CPT, or Critical Pitting Temperature, refers to the minimum temperature at which a material, typically a metal, is susceptible to pitting corrosion in a specific environment. This temperature indicates the threshold beyond which localized corrosion processes can initiate, posing significant risks to the structural integrity and longevity of materials used in various industrial applications. Understanding CPT is crucial for materials selection and corrosion prevention strategies in engineering and design.
