Abstract
Studies the influence of corrosion on chlorine residuals in two distribution networks. Measures electrochemical current noise and relates this to corrosion rate. Establishes the extent of data collection needed to use commercial distribution system models confidently, and identifies typical parameter values for use with these models. Published in 2004.
