Abstract
The corrosion monitoring sub-committee of the Japan Society of Corrosion Engineering started at an urgent request from the Society of Chemical Engineering of Japan in 1976.
The guiding principles as well as the activities of the committee in the past two years are out-lined. Recent international trends in researches and meetings on corrosion monitoring are also referred.
It is pointed out that corrosion testings and monitoring techniques have been developed along with a progress in corrosion sciences and technologies of metals. Recently corrosion monitoring techniques have attracted attention as one of powerful means for reduction of corrosion loss in technological societies. The monitoring techniques are, however, still at a developing stage and will await intensive studies not only by corrosion scientists and engineers but also by outsiders.
