External Corrosion and Corrosion Control of Buried Water Mains

Abstract

Identifies various causes of external corrosion such as bacteriological, galvanic, impressed current, acidic soils, etc., and presents methods that aid in the identification process. Also determines economical solutions for each type of corrosion and verify these solutions through field trials. Includes a CD-ROM. Published in 2005.
