It is in very good agreement with an independent number from a completely different study. We measured corrosion rates on all kinds of our pipe by recovering samples and measuring maximum pit depths per metre.  From the two studies, we can say PDI offered us about a 30% average reduction in corrosion rate, and in break rate.
