腐蚀控制研究为根据铅和铜规则选择“最佳”处理提供了技术依据。次要考虑因素是所选治疗方案的设计和实施。在测试程序期间，必须根据预期的应用点收集有关化学品进料速率的良好数据。博尔德市（科罗拉多州）的经验表明，循环管道回路的使用更容易操作，在测试期间需要的维护更少。它们在铅和铜腐蚀控制评估方面表现良好；然而，它们不适合同时包含铁管道和铜和铅材料。由于水质在测试期间发生变化，因此使用试片进行罐测试需要更多的关注。 在评估铁和铅腐蚀控制方面取得了良好的结果，但铜的性能可能不够。图表显示了Boulder研究中铅、铜和铁腐蚀的结果。图中给出了基于pH值的建议腐蚀控制方法。

Corrosion control studies provide the technical basis for selecting "optimal" treatment under the Lead and Copper Rule. A secondary consideration is the design and implementation of the selected treatment option. Good data on the chemical feed rates, based on their anticipated application points, must be collected during the testing program. The City of Boulder (Colorado) experience indicates that the use of recirculating pipe loops are easier to operate and require lower maintenance during testing periods. They appear to perform well for the evaluation of lead and copper corrosion control; however, they are not suitable for the inclusion of iron piping simultaneously with the copper and lead materials. Jar testing using coupons requires more attention since water quality changes occur during the testing period. Good results have been obtained for evaluating iron and lead corrosion control, but the performance for copper may be inadequate. Graphs show results for lead, copper, and iron corrosion in the Boulder study. A figure gives suggested corrosion control approaches based on pH.
