THE BUREAU OF STANDARDS SOIL-CORROSION INVESTIGATION [with DISCUSSION]
Kirk H. Logan · 2016
It is rather interesting to note that occasionally similar ideas occur almost simultaneously to two persons who are widely separated and unknown to each other. Thus the plan of Mr. Minor for making an electrolysis survey of the proposed route of a waterpipe line, as described in the paper just presented,3 is fundamentally the same as that of the men who made a soil survey of the DenverAmarilla gas line which was installed a short time ago. In one case the object was to avoid electrolytic corrosion, while, in the other, soil corrosion was to be prevented. The two causes of corrosion are closely associated, and frequently it is difficult to distinguish between them.
