Soil Corrosivity

[Okiryu]

Hi, in your opinion, what are the most common test for checking soil corrosivity? I normally do soil conductivity, pH, chlorides and sulfates content lab tests. Any other test you think can be considered in the field or lab?

Thanks metengr. This is the first time I see this test. I does not aware of it. Is this test very common in the US?

Working in Power Generation with buried gas and other types of piping I have seen this cited before.
