As the demand for a clean, reliable supply of water constantly increases, new ways must be found to meet the challenge of conveyance, while avoiding the effects of corrosion. This volume reviews the performance of materials in contact with potable water, including cast iron, concrete, copper, galvanized steel, lead, polymeric materials, and stainless steel.

This book presents the proceedings of a conference on corrosion and other aspects of the conveyance of drinking water, held at the Society of Chemical Industry, London, England, in December 1992. The papers not only examine and update the reader on the performance of various materials in contact with potable water, they also introduce the all-important question of standards, both national and international.
