Full Description

Various methods for evaluating distribution system corrosion are examined. Specific emphasis is given to a special pipe-loop tester assembly which may prove more accurate and may reflect actual field corrosion conditions more closely. The apparatus was designed to determine the effect of various water quality parameters on the corrosion of different materials and the procedures that could inhibit or prevent that corrosion. The PVC pipe-loop tester is constructed by incorporating changes into a standard piece of corrosion-detection equipment. Other methods for evaluating corrosion of water systems are discussed, including the weight-loss method, visual techniques, electrical resistance probes, electrochemical techniques, potential and pH measurement, corrosion reaction products, and thickness measurement. Includes 14 references, tables, figures.
