The following assumption can be made that significantly impact the calculated corrosion rate early in the equipment life
A) If the base line thickness were not performed the nominal thickness may be used for the original thickness
B) If original thickness not available, averaged at thickness readings may be used
C) If the original thickness not available, maximum at thickness readings may be used

If the baseline thickness measurement is not performed, it may not be possible to accurately determine the original thickness of the equipment. This could result in using the nominal thickness, which may not be accurate, and therefore significantly affect the calculated corrosion rate early in the equipment life. Options B and C relate to situations where the original thickness is not available, but assuming the baseline measurement was done, these options would not significantly impact the calculated corrosion rate early in the equipment life.
