A sulfuric acid spot test is an inspection procedure that involves applying a single drop of a reagent on a metal's surface to determine the presence of sulfuric acid and corrosion. Generally the corrosion rate increases with higher concentrations of sulfuric acid. Pitting corrosion and its… View Full Term
