研究了评估配电系统腐蚀的各种方法。特别强调的是一种特殊的管道回路测试仪组件，它可以证明更准确，并且可以更密切地反映实际的现场腐蚀条件。该装置旨在确定各种水质参数对不同材料腐蚀的影响，以及抑制或防止腐蚀的程序。PVC管道回路测试仪是通过将变化纳入腐蚀标准件而构建的- 检测设备。还讨论了评估水系统腐蚀的其他方法，包括失重法、视觉技术、电阻探针、电化学技术、电位和pH测量、腐蚀反应产物和厚度测量。包括14个参考文献、表格和图表。

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.
