Description of a refractory metal thermocouple research program, directed towards establishing the parameters that are necessary to achieve reliable, long term, high temperature thermocouple performance. A description of special apparatus for exposing bare-wire thermoelements to high temperatures in vacuum and in high purity gaseous environments is given, and the design and performance of an ultra-high-vacuum, high-temperature furnace system are described. Bare-wire W-3 per cent Re and W-25 per cent Re thermoelements were exposed at 2400 K in argon, hydrogen, or vacuum, and experienced a shift in their emf-temperature relationship upon initial exposure. After the initial shift, the thermoelements exposed in the gaseous environments experienced no significant further change in their emf-temperature relationship for periods up to 1000 hrs. The thermoelements exposed in vacuum continually drifted in their emf-temperature relationship as a result of the preferential loss of Re by evaporation.

A rotating wavelength-independent optical attenuator is described that generates four radiance steps. Radiance ratios between the steps can be continuously varied. Experiments are performed to assess the operational characteri sti cs of the attenuator. Radiance is determined from measurements with a high-speed photoelec tric pyrometer. Recording of signals is made with a high-speed digital data acquisition system. The combined measuring and recording systems have a full-scale signal resolution of approximately one part in 8000 and a time r esolution of 0.4 ms. The results of several experiments on radi ance ratio measurements are found to be in agreement within one part in 1000.

POLARIZATION MEASUREMENTS OF STEEL PIPE SPECIMENS EXPOSED TO THE SOIL AT FOUR DAM SITES WERE MADE BY THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS (LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY DIVISION) AND RELATED TO THE CORROSION OF STEEL PILING (UNDERGROUND) AT THE SITES. AS THE POLARIZATION MEASUREMENTS WERE MADE PERIODICALLY ON WEIGHED SPECIMENS FOR PERIODS AS LONG AS SEVEN YEARS, THE DATA OFFERED AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY FOR EVALUATING THE ACCURACY AND PRACTICABILITY OF A POLARIZATION TECHNIQUE FOR MEASURING CORROSION RATES. REASONABLE AGREEMENT BETWEEN CALCULATED AND ACTUAL CORROSION ON THE SPECIMENS MADE IT POSSIBLE TO ESTIMATE MAXIMUM ANTICIPATED CORROSION ON THE PILING AFTER 50 YEARS OF EXPOSURE. INSTANTANEOUS CORROSION RATES WERE ALSO MEASURED ON TWO DRIVEN PIPE PILES, 72 FT (22 M) AND 19 FT (5.8 M) IN LENGTH, BOTH OF WHICH HAD BEEN EXPOSED FOR 12 YEARS.
