In this paper there are discussed the results of corrosion tests in various organic acids, principally those of the lower aliphatic series. Aqueous solutions of the acids and mixtures are considered. Related Compounds, such as aldehydes, ketones, esters and anhydrides are also discussed.

The corrosive conditions studied are those which prevailed during the production or use of these compounds. Where appropriate, laboratory test results are included.

The materials of construction discussed are the ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. These include the stainless steels, the special autenitic stainless steels, copper and copper-base alloys, nickel and nickel-base alloys.
