Continues the series explaining the standard corrosion tests in terminology suitable for entry-level (but apparently well-paid) technicians with little or no background in the field. Focuses on the microbial biofilms that form on all surfaces in contact with aqueous environments, and consist of a large percentage of adsorbed and entrapped material such as solutes, heavy metals, and inorganic particles such as silt and clay, as well as the cellular constituents. After an introduction, covers sample identification and collection; metallurgical, microbiological, chemical, and electrochemical testing; monitors; and recent laboratory developments. Includes many black-and- white and color photographs, and a glossary without pronunciation. The wire binding lies flat for work in the laboratory. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
