GROUND ROD METALS - RESULTS OF TWO ONE-YEAR TESTS

Abstract

The U. S. Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory has been investigating various metals now in use as ground rods, and metals which might be acceptable substitutes. NCEL cooperated with the National Association of Corrosion Engineers by installing a series of test rods at the Laboratory. A smaller set was installed at the Naval Air Station, Point Mugu, California as a short-term test. Test results are given for the first group of rods from the NCEL site and for the set from Point Mugu. It is recommended that corrosion-resistant iron alloys be authorized for use in grounding systems.
