Abbreviations, Acronyms, and Symbols in Corrosion-Related Terminology

All abbreviations, acronyms, and symbols should be used consistently within a NACE publication. Use of these abbreviations, acronyms, and
symbols is at the editor’s discretion. All abbreviations, acronyms, and symbols should be identified upon first use by spelling completely the
word or term and following it with the abbreviation, acronym, or symbol in parentheses. The abbreviation, acronym, or symbol should then be
used consistently throughout the document.

Abbreviations, acronyms, and symbols not included in the following list also may be used at the author’s or editor’s discretion; however, such
abbreviations, acronyms, and symbols always should be identified upon first use by spelling completely the word or term and following it with
the abbreviation, acronym, or symbol in parentheses. The abbreviation, acronym, or symbol should then be used consistently throughout the
document.

The only abbreviations that may be used without identification are units of measure and those symbols listed in the Periodic Table of Elements
(e.g., Fe for iron [see Appendix M]). Selected forms of terminology and abbreviations should be used consistently throughout the publication.

Abbreviation is highly recommended for lengthy terms used frequently throughout a document.
