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.

Elements known to the ancients were given Latin names which were abbreviated. Iron was called Ferrum in Latin which was abbreviated to Fe. Copper was called Cuprum shortened to Cu, etc. More recently discovered elements are usually abbreviated by using the first two letters in […]
The data obtained from several municipal watermains corrosion studies in the Province of Ontario is presented. This data corroborates the findings of a previous study indicating that the galvanic couple formed by the connection of the copper service piping to watermain is a principal factor […]
It is best to review the differences between these two protection techniques before discussing their application in the Paper Industry. Corrosionists have been aware of the electrochemical nature of aqueous corrosion since the studies of Davy & Faraday. Apart from some early experiments using zinc […]
Cathodic protection is discussed in relation to the likelihood that its application will rest on economic considerations. Various methods are presented from the literature and a case is made for the use of the Equivalent Annual Cost Method together with several illustrations of its use. […]
A 1954 survey by NACE Subcommittee TP- IHIII on oil-string casing corrosion indicated that 79% of failures on producing gas or oil wells in the U.S. were due to corrosion. Battle (3) extrapolated the NACE 1954 survey to estimate the number of casing failures in […]
The corrosion of flat bottom storage tanks has not been historically a serious problem to the petroleum refining industry. This may have to do in par with the fact that most tanks are constructed on elevated granular pads which afford good drainage and also as […]
This paper outlines the procedures used in designing a cathodic protection systems for new or existing water piping. Both sacrificial and impressed current systems are discussed, and design examples for various application of these systems are also given. DOWNLOAD PAPER
The corrosion susceptibility of steel storage tank systems is now well recognized by government regulatory agencies since most Provincial governments in Canada have introduced legislation making it mandatory that new tank installations incorporate corrosion control equipment and that existing tanks and piping be upgraded to […]
