The process of prior removal of the active corrosive constituents usually oxygen, from a corrosive liquid by controlled corrosion of expendable metal or by other chemical means, thereby making the liquid less corrosive.

The selective corrosion of one or more components of a solid solution alloy, usually in the form of ions. Also called parting or selective leaching. See also decarburization, decobaltification, denickelification, dezincification, and graphitic corrosion.

The selective leaching or corrosion of a specific constituent (Al, Ni, Mo, Ni) from an alloy.

Loss of carbon from the surface layer of a carbon-containing alloy due to reaction with one or more chemical substances in a medium that contacts the surface. See also dealloying.

Corrosion in which cobalt is selectively leached from cobalt-base alloys, such as Stellite

The potential of a metal surface necessary to decompose the electrolyte of a cell or a component/substance thereof.

One or more anodes installed vertically at a nominal depth of 15 m (50 ft) or more below the earth's surface in a drilled hole for the purpose of supplying cathodic protection for an underground or submerged metallic structure. See also groundbed.

Timber placed across the floor of the cargo hold to protect it from damage.

The height ascribed to the lowest layer of clouds or obscuring phenomena when it is reported as broken, overcast, or obscuration and not classified as "thin" or "partial." The ceiling is termed unlimited when these conditions are not satisfied. ...

The downward facing structural element that is directly opposite the floor.

A small balloon used to determine the height of the cloud base. The height can be computed from the ascent velocity of the balloon and the time required for its disappearance into the cloud.

A description or explanation of the manner in which the height of the ceiling is determined, i.e. aircraft ceiling, balloon ceiling. estimated ceiling, indefinite ceiling, measured ceiling, precipitation ceiling.

A mechanical device used for air circulation and to provide cooling.

A type of cloud height indicator which uses a searchlight to project vertically a narrow beam of light onto the cloud base. The height of the cloud is determined using a clinometer, located at a known distance from the ceiling light, to measure the angle ...

Same as ceiling light.

An automatic, recording cloud height indicator.
