| Symbolic Rating | Swelling
or dimensional change in any direction |
Loss of tensile strength | Description of chemical attack |
| A | <10% | <15% | Little or no chemical attack |
| B | <15% | <30% | Good resistance (Minor chemical attack) |
| C | <20% | <50% | Moderate chemical attack. |
| NR | >20% | >50% | Attacked or dissolved. |
| Blank | No data | No data | No data |
| A to 70°F | <10% swelling or <15% loss of tensile strength at 100% concentration, or concentrated, or saturated solution to 70°F. Little or no chemical attack. |
| A to 20% at 70°F | <10% swelling or <15% loss of tensile strength from 0% to 20% at 70°F. Little or no chemical attack. |
| AC at 70°F | <10% to <20% swelling or <15% to 50% loss of tensile strength at 100% concentration, or concentrated solution at 70°F. Varying or variable rates reported by multiple sources. |
| B 20-50% 70-140°F | <15% swelling or < 308 loss of tensile strength between 20% and 50% concentration, from 70°F to 740°F. Good resistance. (Minor chemical attack) |
| NR at 70°F | > 20% swelling or > 50% loss of tensile strength at 100% concentration, or concentrated, or saturated solution at 70°F. Attacked or dissolved within minutes or years. (Not recommended) |
| A/NR at 70°F | <10% to >20% swelling or <15% to 50% loss of tensile strength at 100% concentration, or concentrated, or saturated solution, at 70°F. Varying or variable rates reported by multiple sources. Combinations rated A/NR are critical regarding concentration or temperature. |
| Note that when boiling is indicated, the boiling temperature varies with the concentration of the corrodent. | |
