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.

Interference can be defined as any electrical disturbance on a structure caused by a stray current. In this context, ‘stray’ refers to a current in an unintended path, although it is recognized that current will take all available paths in inverse proportion to the relative […]
Monitoring the operation of Cathodic Protection (CP) systems on 39,000km (22,000 miles) of pipeline through site visits and manual reading is a time consuming and costly task. (Figure 1) Of the 1300 plus rectifies sites in the subject pipeline network, more than 40 sites are […]
Methods of determining the coating quality on directionally drilled pipe sections were investigated in a research project sponsored by the Pipeline Research Committee of the American Gas Association. Tests were conducted on FBE coated pipe samples which were buried in three different soil conditions and […]
Since its introduction in 1824, cathodic protection (CP) technology has developed to become a fundamental tool for preventing corrosion on municipal infrastructure. Potable water storage tanks and piping, prestressed concrete cylinder pipe, reinforced concrete structures, bridges, parking structures, underground fuel tanks, and effluent treatment clarifiers […]
Potential and current fluctuations on oil and gas pipelines attributed to telluric currents have been observed for many years by corrosion control personnel when conducting routine cathodic protection performance surveys. The impact of these geomagnetically induced currents has generally been considered more of a nuisance […]
Issues considered during the design of an impressed current type cathodic protection (ICCP) system for corrosion control on the submerged external surfaces of the steel ice shields on the bridge piers are presented. The challenges and cathodic protection (CP) system design solutions, associated with providing […]
Magnetism and magnetic effects are know to nearly everyone but the explanation of how magnetism behaves can be very complicated. This presentation will attempt to simplify magnetic theory to permit the understanding of magnetic fields and their influence on various materials. The nature and strength […]
This paper presents the issues considered during the design of an impressed current type cathodic protection (ICCP) system for corrosion control on the submerged external surfaces of the steel ice shields on the piers of Confederation Bridge. General information and facts are presented on the […]
