Uniform Corrosion Rate Calculator (Weight Loss)
Uniform corrosion rate by weight loss per ASTM G1: CR (mm/a) = 87.6 × ΔW / (ρ × A × t), with ΔW in mg, ρ in g/cm³, A in cm², t in hours. Also reports mpy (mils/year = mm/a × 39.37) and an indicative NACE-style carbon-steel rating (excellent/good/fair/poor). Used for immersion tests and coupon exposure.

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| massLoss | number | Yes | Mass lost from the specimen in milligrams, measured by weighing before/after the test. |
| density | number | Yes | Material density in g/cm³. E.g. carbon steel ≈ 7.85, stainless 304 ≈ 8.0, aluminum ≈ 2.70, copper ≈ 8.96. |
| area | number | Yes | Total exposed specimen surface area in cm². Include all wetted faces. |
| time | number | Yes | Exposure duration in hours. E.g. 24 (1 day), 720 (30 days), 8760 (1 year). |
| decimalPlaces | number |

}List available tools
After connecting to the SSE endpoint, list the exposed tools:
tools/list
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "tools/list"
}Call this tool
Invoke the tool by its id, passing arguments built from its parameters:
tools/call
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 2,
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {
"name": "corrosion-rate-calculator",
"arguments": {
"massLoss": 50,
"density": 7.85,
"area": 20,
"time": 720,
"decimalPlaces": 3
}
}
}Chain multiple tools in one session with a comma-separated toolId list, e.g. /mcp/sse?toolId=png-to-webp,jpg-to-webp,gif-to-webp (max 20).
