An ideal - and affordable - text for engineers and maintenance professional with an interest in corrosion monitoring. This title does not attempt to baffle with the technology, but introduces it at an understandable level, touching on the basic theory and concepts, available equipment and practical issues relevant to the engineer as well as highlighting several case studies with which the reader can relate. Other books in this twelve title series focus on thermography, wear debris analysis, vibration, noise, ultrasonics and oil analysis. The full series will be published before the end of the year 2000.
