Demonstration of Pipe Corrosion Sensors at Fort Bragg, NC: Final Report on Project AR-F-317 for FY05

摘要

This Office of the Secretary of Defense Corrosion Prevention and Control Program project demonstrated the use of sensors that are permanently installed in the potable water distribution system to monitor water chemistry/corrosivity and corrosion rates. One water chemistry sensor and one corrosion-rate sensor were installed at each of four locations in the potable water distribution system at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and were interfaced with the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system in place for the installation's water and waste water distribution systems. This report describes project objectives, equipment acquisition, setup, and system initialization. Preliminary observations of operation and lessons learned are discussed.
