seawater flowing through the sterile chamber, can be analyzed periodically 

 for dissolved oxygen concentration, salinity, pH, and for bacteria. The current 

 velocity flowing through the chamber can be controlled. Identical test panels 

 should be placed just outside the sterile test chamber so that marine microorga- 

 nisms (slime film) will become attached to the panel. In addition, replicate 

 test panels should be exposed in the open sea so that marine fouling organisms 

 will become attached to the panels. The corrosion due to biological effects can 

 then be determined by comparing the corrosion rates of the exposed panels to 

 those of control panels.
