Common corrosion failure mechanisms experienced in stagnant service water systems are discussed. These mechanisms include underdeposit corrosion, biologically influenced corrosion, oxygen corrosion, tuberculation, and graphitic corrosion. Case histories illustrate these mechanisms. Measures used to control corrosion in these systems are described.
