... in the laboratory and/or in the field. Laboratory testing is often preferred rather than field testing in the actual service environment due to time, better control of many variables, and/or budget limitations. Laboratory evaluations may include accelerated tests that may generate results that have little...

This electrolyte approximates a 3.5 weight percent sodium chloride solution but it is much more...

... minute indentations; 6-Mo stainless steel coupons had a directional, “wood grain” surface; and alloy C-276 coupons exhibited a “sand blasted” finish. Test Rack Design Abstract Field tests using specimen racks were performed in six operating flue gas desulfurization (FGD) scrubber absorbers to determine...
