Excerpt from Underground CorrosionAs corrosion due to stray-current electrolysis became less important, attention was turned to underground corrosion due to causes other than stray currents. Although this work has been interrupted by the necessity of giving full attention to war work, the subject continues to be one of major importance. A considerable number of Bureau publications have been issued, but most of them are also out of print and available only in reference libraries.There is a continuing demand for technical information relating to the problem of underground corrosion. Because of the extensive instal lation and repair of underground structures that will occur in the post war period the Bureau feels that the issuance of a publication giving under one cover the research results obtained thus far, together with a general discussion of the corrosion problem and the conclusions to be drawn from the data, will serve a useful purpose. These conclusions are supplemented by summaries of the results of the more important investigations of underground - corrosion phenomena carried on in America and Europe.The manufacturers who supplied the materials tested have rendered valuable assistance in planning the tests and in the interpretation of the results. The cooperation of the public utilities and the technical societies has also been of great value in the work.The material for this Circular is based on the results obtained by many members of the Bureau's Underground Corrosion Section over a period of several years, and the use of their data is acknowledged by the author.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
