The pagination is visible at the bottom of each page with direct links to adjacent pages. Additional information can be found in sections 8.1 to 8.7 of the reference textbook (Corrosion Engineering: Principles and Practice). Water Corrosivity A major use of water in industry is the transfer of heat and the production of steam. There is extensive use of cooling water in almost every manufacturing process, in commercial air conditioning, and even a substantial percentage in domestic air conditioning. Water is used in the passive sense for potable and for fire control purposes. Fossil and nuclear fuel steam plants are encountered in the heating and power generating fields. According to the American Waterworks Association (AWWA) industry database, there is approximately 1,483,000 km of municipal water piping in the United States . This number is not exact, since most water utilities do not have complete records of their piping system. The sewer system consists
