EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the aftermath of cooling coil corrosion, providing a close-up view of the rusted metal surface. Taken at the esteemed National Physical Laboratory in Teddington, UK, this image captures the failure of a cooling coil due to extensive corrosion. The photograph, dating back to 1990 and belonging to Science Photo Library's collection, highlights both the technological and scientific aspects associated with engineering research. The studio shot emphasizes every intricate detail of this corroded device, revealing its rusty texture caused by hydrated iron oxide - commonly known as rust. This visual representation serves as a testament to the challenges faced by engineers in combating corrosion within their equipment. As an English laboratory renowned for its contributions to physics and technological advancements throughout Europe, National Physical Laboratory (NPL) played a pivotal role in capturing this significant moment in time. The photograph not only documents an instance of failed technology but also serves as a reminder of ongoing efforts to combat corrosion and improve engineering practices. With its historical significance rooted in 20th-century British engineering expertise, this print from NPL's archives offers valuable insights into the impact that corrosion can have on vital equipment.
