Since our founding Corrosion Service has and remains a leader in the corrosion control industry, supporting the various industries in North America and around the World ensuring asset integrity by providing responsible engineering services.
As part of our continued commitment, we would like to welcome you to our electronic Library as the place to view our various technical papers written and presented since 1950 supporting, educating and advancing the corrosion industry advancement.
On your left you can select the author of interest to view all papers presented or enter a search by topic. For each, an abstract is provided and a download link for your review. We would be please to assist if you have any questions and feel free to contact us.
The Corrosion Service Library
We converted a prime corner office into a Library at our Head Office and dedicated the room to Sorin Segall because of his commitment to Corrosion Service, the numerous papers presented, the engineering mentoring within Corrosion Service and to our industry. We would be pleased for you to come and view this comprehensive library that includes various text books, relevant publications, all NACE Materials Performance magazines presented since first publication, technical bulletins and various other related corrosion related print material.

The paper describes the theoretical and practical aspects of merging two Indirect inspection tools (i.e. Close Interval Potential Survey and DC Voltage Gradient) into one integrated survey, as used in 2004 during an ECDA project covering more than 21 Km of gas pipelines in Southern […]
Prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) used for water and sewer transmission service is composed of a thin wall steel cylinder, lined on the interior and exterior with cement mortar, and reinforced by prestressing wire either wrapped around the steel cylinder or embedded in the exterior […]
Under an Integrity Management Program (IMP) for natural gas transmission lines, the ECDA concept was analyzed and the process was validated from 2002 to 2004. A Plan was developed and implemented in 2004 on one 17 km pipeline and segments of two other pipelines. This […]
External corrosion of iron watermains has been a problem for municipalities for over 100 years. The three main causes of corrosion, in a historical context are: stray currents from electrified transit systems dissimilar soils galvanic corrosion All of these causes remain with us today, although […]
The service life of Mg anode cathodic protection systems installed on iron water mains has, in some instances, been significantly less than design calculations would predict. Testing of high-potential Mg alloys from various suppliers using the ASTM G97-89 test method indicates that efficiencies are widely […]
Although cathodically protected pipelines are often connected directly to electrical ground in stations and plants, there is little information on the amount of current required to polarize various grounding materials such as copper, tinned copper, stainless steel, silicon iron, and galvanized steel. This paper presents […]
Copper grounding has a detrimental effect on cathodic protection (CP) of interconnected underground carbon steel piping. The copper can consume large amounts of protection current as well as introducing significant measurement errors when verifying the protection level of the piping. This paper examines the interaction […]
Anodic protection (AP) is powerful technique for corrosion mitigation of white and green liquor tankage. Recent improvements are discussed. The use of Distributed Current Sources (DCS) resulted in decrease of: 1) mill personnel involvement 2) logistical hurdles for repassivation 3) DC cabling costs Current distribution […]
