Abstract — The dependence m/K = f (K) (m is the weight of retained products per the unit weight of corrosion losses) on the integral weight of corrosion losses K, which is observed for zinc, carbon steel, copper, brass, aluminum, as well as 
16 and 
alloys, in cold, temperate, and tropical climates, is analyzed. Two groups of empirical equations are proposed to express the functional dependence m/K = f(K). The weight of retained products of outdoor corrosion on zinc, steel, aluminum, and copper, which was calculated from these equations, adequately agree with the experimental weights of products after 1-year outdoor tests of these metals carried out since the late 50s of the past century in Russia and China.
