Metals in High Temperature Water.
This standard method of test is intended to increase the utility
and reliability of high temperature aqueous corrosion data. The
Standard is also intended to aid users of such data by indicating
how the data were obtained and the possible limitations for ap-
plication to selection of materials or environmental conditions
for high temperature water systems.
2. NACE Standard MR-O1-74 Material Requirements: Recommendations for

suggests types of tests that may be used to select such materials.
3. NACE Standard RP-O1-74 Recommended Practice: Corrosion Control of
Electric Underground Residential Distribution Systems.
This NACE Standard presents procedures and practices for the effective
control of external corrosion on buried or submerged metallic com-
ponents of electrical underground residential distribution systems,
to be called URD systems in this document.
4. NACE Standard RP-02-74 Recommended Practice: High Voltage

This standard covers detection and correction of defects in pro-
tective coatings by high voltage electrical inspection of pipeline
coatings prior to installation.
5. NACE Standard MR-02-74 Material Requirements: Material Requirements
in Prefabricated Plastic Films for Pipeline Coatings
This standard establishes material requirements of four types of
prefabricated plastic films used for pipeline coating. It is
intended that this Standard provide a basis for identification
of these pipeline coatings by external parties.
6. NACE Standard RP-01-69 Recommended Practice: Control of External
'Corrosion on Underground or Submerged Metallic Piping Systems
The purpose of this Recommended Practice is to present procedures
and practices for achieving effective control of external corrosion
on buried or submerged metallic piping systems. These recommenda-
tions are also applicable to many other buried or submerged metallic
structures. The Recommended Practice describes the use of electrically
insulating coatings, electrical isolation and cathodic protection as
corrosion control methods.

 Approved For Releaue 2000/09/08= CIA-RDP79-007 000600060003-3
This standard examines the varying procedures used by industry
to protect austenitic stainless steel equipment while idle.
8. NACE Standard RP-01-72 Recommended Practice: Surface Preparation
of Steel and Other Hard Materials by Water Blasting-Prior to
Coating or Recoating.
This NACE Standard presents specific data on the time factors in-
volved in the cleaning of coated and uncoated steel by the water
blast method and makes specific recommendations for safety pre-
cautions which must be observed.
9. NACE Standard RP-02-72 Recommended Practice: Direct Calculation of
Economic Appraisals of Corrosion Control Measures.
This Recommended Practice establishes standard methods for economic
appraisal of alternate corrosion control measures. Use of the cal-
culation schedules in this Recommended Practice should permit the
corrosion engineer to prepare an acceptable corrosion control pro-
posal.
10. NACE Standard RP-03-72 Recommended Practice: Method for Lining
Lease Production Tanks with Coal Tar Epoxy.
This Standard covers the application of interior, protective, coal
tar epoxy lining for lease production tanks.
11. NACE Standard RP-04-72 Recommended Practice: Methods and Controls to
Prevent In-Service Cracking of Carbon Steel (P-1) Welds in Corrosive
Petroleum Refining Environments.
This Recommended Practice establishes a weld hardness limitation to
prevent in-service cracking of welds on P-1 steel equipment used in
the refining industry. Information is also given on the three
primary factors believed related to in-service cracking of carbon
steel welds. These factors are corrosive environment, hardness, and
total stress.
12. NACE Standard RP-05-72 Recommended Practice: Design, Installation,
.Operation, and Maintenance of Impressed Current Deep Groundbeds.
This Recommended Practice presents procedures and practices for
design, installation, operation and maintenance of deep groundbeds
as applied to the control of external corrosion of underground or
submerged metallic structures by impressed current cathodic pro-
tection.

15. MACE Standard TM-01-73 Test Method: Methods for Determining Water
Quality for Subsurface Injection Using Membrane Filters.
This Standard describes two test methods for evaluating water
quality for subsurface injection: Procedure A-"Rate vs Cumulative
Volume" (for water quality monitoring) and Procedure B-"Suspended
Solids Test" (for diagnosis or monitoring). The methods are in-
tended to provide standardized water quality test procedures to
help determine injection water quality in the petroleum production
industry. The test methods describe the apparatus required, test
conditions, test procedure, reporting procedures and supplementary
tests.

Velocity Laboratory Corrosion Tests.
This test method describes a procedure for conducting controlled
velocity corrosion tests in the laboratory in which a corrosive
solution may be moved at a known tangential velocity across the face
of corrosion test specimens. The test method is useful in comparing
the effects of the velocity of a solution on the corrosion of a
.number of metals at the same time, utilizing small circular metal
samples.
