Answer»

Right answer is (b) Mils per year (MPY)

To explain I WOULD SAY: Mils per year is commonly used corrosion rate expression as it MEASURES corrosion rate in terms of depth of penetration of pit. Whereas milligram sq. decimeter per day (MDD) measures the corrosion rate in terms of WEIGHT loss of metal.
