The national organizations are often relayed into each profession by a body created and financed by this profession and which undertakes all or part of the work in preparing the standards. In the petroleum industry, this role is carried out in France by the BNPet (Bureau de Normalisation du Petrole) and in Germany by the FAM (Fachausschuss Mineralol-und Brennstoffnormung), in the United Kingdom by the IP (Institute of Petroleum), and in the USA by the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials). In the first two cases, the standards are published only by the national organizations (AFNOR and DIN respectively), while the IP and the ASTM also publish their own documents, only some of which are adopted by the BSI and ANSI, respectively.

Reactions represent the dynamic aspect of chemistry, the interconversion of chemical compounds. Chemical reactions produce the compounds that are sold by industry and that play a big role in maintaining the standard of living of our society they transform the food that we take up in our body into energy and into other compounds and they provide the energy for surviving in a hostile environment and the energy for a large part of our transportation systems. 

Approximately three-quarters of the elements in the Periodic Table are metals. The winning, refining, and fabrication of these metals for commercial use together represent the complex and diverse field of metallurgy. Metallurgy has played a vital role in society for thousands of years, yet it continues to advance and to have increasing importance in many areas of science and technology. 

Repeatedly in this book, the important functions of dopants , intentional additives made in small amounts to materials, have been highlighted the use of minor additives to the tungsten used to make lamp filaments is one major example. The role of impurities, both intentional and unintentional, in matters such as phase transformations, mechanical properties and diffusion, was critically reviewed in one of the early seminar volumes published by the American Society for Metals (Marzke 1955). But extreme purity was not considered that came a little later. 

Information about this splendid compilation came to me from a chemist, Robert Weast (1985), who was editor from 1952 until 1988... 37 years He also informed me that the creation (jointly by the American Chemical Society and the American Institute of Physics) of the Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data, which began publication in 1972, was encouraged by the results of a survey which indicated how widely the Rubber Bible was used. Weast describes this journal as a truly outstanding source of critically evaluated data . In saying this, he underlined the crucial role of editors and contributors critical judgment in selecting data for such compilations. David Tide, the editor of the journal, in 1989 succeeded Robert... 

In Europe, a Federation of Materials Societies, FEMS, was established in 1987 it links 19 societies in 17 countries (website http //www.fems.org). It plays a role in setting up Europe-wide conferences on materials, keeps national societies informed of each other s doings, and seeks to avert timetable conflicts. Further federations feature in the next section.

In recent years it has been regarded as somewhat passe to refer to Sir Humphrey Davy in a text on cathodic protection. However, his role in the application of cathodic protection should not be ignored. In 1824 Davy presented a series of papers to the Royal Society in London in which he described how zinc and iron anodes could be used to prevent the corrosion of copper sheathing on the wooden hulls of British naval vessels. His paper shows a considerable intuitive awareness of what are now accepted as the principles of cathodic protection. Several practical tests were made on vessels in harbour and on sea-going ships, including the effect of various current densities on the level of protection of the copper. Davy also considered the use of an impressed current device based on a battery, but did not consider the method to be practicable. 

In a modern industrialised society the analytical chemist has a very important role to play. Thus most manufacturing industries rely upon both qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis to ensure that the raw materials used meet certain specifications, and also to check the quality of the final product. The examination of raw materials is carried out to ensure that there are no unusual substances present which might be deleterious to the manufacturing process or appear as a harmful impurity in the final product. Further, since the value of the raw material may be governed by the amount of the required ingredient which it contains, a quantitative analysis is performed to establish the proportion of the essential component this procedure is often referred to as assaying. The final manufactured product is subject to quality control to ensure that its essential components are present within a pre-determined range of composition, whilst impurities do not exceed certain specified limits. The semiconductor industry is an example of an industry whose very existence is dependent upon very accurate determination of substances present in extremely minute quantities.
