T. Harding et L. Brown, DEVELOPMENT OF A STANDARD TEST PROCEDURE FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF THE PERFORMANCE OF TREATMENT PROGRAMS FOR INDUSTRIAL COOLING WATER, Materials performance, 36(10), 1997, pp. 52-57
End users and suppliers of chemical treatment additives in the Benelux
have initiated and developed a standardized procedure for assessing t
he performance of treatment programs for recirculating cooling water s
ystems. This procedure is published by the Netherlands Standardization
Institute as NEN-742-1996. The participants of this project intend to
further develop this method as an International Standards Organizatio
