Corrosion Monitoring

Multiple forms of corrosion exist – Generalized wall loss, underdeposit pitting, galvanic activity, erosion, CUI, weathering - to name a few. Certain types of corrosion are associated with specific piping systems, and are often caused by easily avoided design engineering or maintenance errors. We provide below a series of Technical Bulletins related to the corrosion of HVAC piping systems. All are directly based upon our 30+ years of experience in this field, and offer either an explanation or potential solution to common everyday problems and concerns.

Problems

Many different forms of corrosion exist, and present different levels of threat for different building properties

Consequences

Results can range from small pinhole leaks to catastrophic failures and million dollar damages

Solutions

The favored approach is to prevent the corrosion problem from ever occurring, yet corrective actions are often available
