Forms Of Corrosion
Common Failures And Corrosion Problems For Most HVAC and Plumbing Piping Systems |
Corrosion problems and their resulting pipe failure take many forms. Often two or more separate corrosion events are together involved to produce much more severe losses - such as high general corrosion activity above 10 MPY in combination with galvanic activity due to dissimilar metals.
Below we present 26 general classifications of either failure events orcorrosion conditions in order to illustrate the wide diversity of problems which commonly exist within the commercial HVAC industry. We find such galleries often useful to our readers in comparing, identifying, and possibly assessing a suspected corrosion condition.
