Tests have been carried out to compare the reproducibility of potentiostatic and galvanostatic electrolytic methods, and the NACE corrosion-solution method for the introduction of hydrogen into iron specimens. It is concluded that the NACE solution gives the most consistent results, particularly at high hydrogen concentrations where the electrolytic techniques are likely to produce blistering.
