Since the two tendencies are inseparable for a metal to corrode and for water and the materials it contains to promote or inhibit corrosion, the corrosiveness of a material or the corrosivity of water must be determined in relative, rather than absolute, terms. 2, record 1, English, - water%20corrosivity

Une eau agressive est une eau qui dissout les dépôts calcaires. L'agressivité est liée principalement à la quantité des différents composés du gaz carbonique présents dans l'eau. Une eau totalement adoucie a tendance à dissoudre un dépôt calcaire. L'agressivité de l'eau n'est pas liée à la corrosivité de l'eau. 2, record 1, French, - corrosivit%C3%A9%20de%20l%27eau
