AIR TREATMENT: THE PREVENTION OF CORROSION IN STORAGE Part 1 Available to Purchase

Corrosion of ferrous components or of goods made partly of steel is caused mainly by two factors, namely temperature and humidity content of room air in the storage space. Prevention of corrosion has, therefore, to concentrate on means to keep storage rooms or departments well ventilated and at a definite air temperature. This first part of the article is concerned largely with physics regarding the properties of air. It covers ventilation, the various air‐treatment operations and the question of which systems are best suited to particular circumstances.
