The name of Technical Committee T-3F is being changed from “Corrosion in High Purity Water” to “High Purity and Related Waters” to avoid having the committee's activities overlooked by persons who might benefit and who could contribute to discussions of the problem.
The committee was originally organized to stimulate exchange of data and experience in the field of nuclear power generation where high purity water was considered a prerequisite for contact with the fuel elements which constituted the source of heat. Later, various additions were made to this water for corrosion inhibition. Additions to the water on the secondary side of the heat exchanger where steam is generated also were considered.
The inter-relation of the two problems became obvious; the committee's activities led in the direction of high temperature water corrosion reactions not well described by the exclusive term “high purity.”
