Proceedings from a NACE symposium. Presents current trends in materials used in the manufacture and handling of sulfuric acid, by far the largest tonnage chemical produced in the world. Seeks a better understanding of steel corrosion rate factors. Discusses avoiding turbulent effects in pipelines and hydrogen grooving and accelerated weld attack in storage tanks. Also includes NACE Committee Report, 'Materials of Construction for Handling Sulfuric Acid.' Deals with effects of silicon content on corrosion resistance of iron and cast austenitic stainless steels. Covers use and corrosion resistance of high-performance (high-nickle, chromium, and molybdenum) alloys in sulfuric acid. Defines the limits of zirconium application by electrochemical and weight loss measurements. Describes commonly available fluoroplastics and applications in manufacture and handling of sulfuric acid. 8-1/2' x 11', index.
