- Abstract
- The results of surveys of the extent of corrosion of metallic piping systems at selected military installations have been analyzed. Potable water, fire protection, heat distribution, cooling, and natural gas distribution systems are included in these surveys. The corrosion evaluation techniques used in these surveys and the types of protection applied are discussed. General recommendations regarding continuation and extension of these surveys are given.
