Corrosion rates of steel pipe in sea-water were obtained for six residual chlorine concentrations ranging from 0 to 4.0 ppm at five seawater velocities from 0.1 to 6.4 feet per second. Pitting rates were accurately measured and compared with weight loss corrosion data. The minimum effective dosage of chlorine was determined for elimination of marine fouling organisms. A simple accurate method for the determination of residual chlorine in seawater is also discussed.
