Laboratory exposure testing of carbon steel to water from different regions of the United States, with varying chemistries and chloride content. The results of chemical analyses conducted in the laboratory, including elemental analysis by SEM/EDS and analysis by x-ray diffraction are correlated to water chemistry.
Those working in corrosion consultation are often asked to opine on the source and timeframe of corrosion and may only have the corroded samples to work with and a limited history of the service life without access to reference samples of corrosion product produced from known exposure. Many literature sources present case studies of corrosion occurring in a variety of environments where the mechanism of corrosion is deduced based on prior experience and literature surveys but the chemistry of the environment leading to the corrosion is either unknown or not discussed. The work to be presented involves laboratory exposure testing of carbon steel to waters originating from different regions throughout the United States with varying chemistries and chloride levels. The results of laboratory chemical analyses including elemental analysis by SEM/EDS and analysis by x-ray diffraction will be correlated to the water chemistry.
Key words: corrosion, chloride, tap water, SEM, EDS, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, XRD, x-ray diffraction

Corrosion and structural deterioration due to microbiologically influenced sulfate reduction and hydrogen sulfide gas oxidation to sulfuric acid are responsible for much of the expense related to santiatry sewage collection systems. This paper explains the mechanism of this biologically induced corrosion, its consequence, and methods to mediate it.
Ccase histories of four fire protection systems where corrosion resulted in premature discharge/leakage causing significant property damage or facilities downtime. Tuberculation of galvanized piping. Two cases of dealloying (dezincification) corrosion of brass sprinkler heads. Microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC) corrosion.
