PREN is a composition-based index for comparing relative resistance to chloride pitting. It does not account for velocity, temperature, crevice geometry or biofouling, and it is not a substitute for a corrosion assessment. Compositions above are mid-range nominal values for prefill only — use your own certificate values for any acceptance decision.
