The constant stream of new examples wherein corrosion inhibitors effectively stop substantial losses of equipment has provided encouragement and a strong stimulant to members of Technical Practices Committee No. 9. Our principal aim is to obtain and to pass along information on corrosion inhibitors so they will be properly used wherever they offer the most logical and economically feasible solution to a corrosion problem. We are also concerned with the best technical practices for evaluating corrosion inhibitors and with research on inhibitors.
Since TP-9 last reported to you in this column in May 1951, its members have been working to publish an alphabetical list of corrosion inhibitors. This list is intended to assemble for ready reference, pertinent information on the activity and utility of important inhibitors. It is being designed for the corrosion engineer who has a limited knowledge of inhibitors rather than for the advanced researcher who is interested...
