Reviews

This handbook covers completely all the background theory and fundamentals of practice as well as the latest knowledge and advances in applications...No other work, in any language, comes close to the comprehensiveness you will find in this. (Journal of Canadian Petroleum Technology) I have not found a sourcebook as comprehensive as this one, which an be used in the classroom and can also serve as a reference for practicing technologists. (Chemical Engineering Progress) For those who have serious interest in the subject of corrosion, this book is a definitve reference. (Plant Engineering)
