NEW IN 2008. This report discusses the theoretical basis for the 100 millivolt (mV) cathodic polarization criterion; the effects of other factors such as temperature, mill scale, moisture, and anaerobic bacteria; measurement of the polarization, and the applicability of the criterion in situations such as areas susceptible to stress corrosion cracking; mixed-metal systems; and areas susceptible to stray currents. It also includes the results of an industry questionnaire on the use of the 100 mV polarization criterion and opinions on its effectiveness.
