  2. Erosion corrosion of copper water tubes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erosion_corrosion_of...

    Erosion corrosion, also known as impingement damage, is the combined effect of corrosion and erosion caused by rapid flowing turbulent water. It is probably the second most common cause of copper tube failures behind Type 1 pitting which is also known as Cold Water Pitting of Copper Tube. Copper Water Tubes Copper tubes have been used to ...

  3. Copper tubing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_tubing

    Rigid copper is a popular choice for water lines. Rigid or "Hard" copper tubing is generally referred to as "pipe". Copper "piping" is referred to by nominal pipe size, or the inner diameter. It is joined using a solder/sweat, roll grooved, compression, or crimped/pressed connection. Rigid copper, rigid due to the work hardening of the drawing ...

  4. Plumbing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumbing

    Plumbing. A complex arrangement of rigid steel piping and stop valves regulate flow to various parts of the building, with an evident preference for right-angle pipe bends and orthogonal pipe routes. Plumbing is any system that conveys fluids for a wide range of applications.

  5. Galvanic corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_corrosion

    Galvanic corrosion. Corrosion of an iron nail wrapped in bright copper wire, showing cathodic protection of copper; a ferroxyl indicator solution shows colored chemical indications of two types of ions diffusing through a moist agar medium. Galvanic corrosion (also called bimetallic corrosion or dissimilar metal corrosion) is an electrochemical ...

  6. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

    Copper fittings for soldered joints. Pipe fittings: 1) Copper (solder); 2) Iron or brass (threaded); 3) Brass (compression); 4) Brass (compression to solder); 5) Brass adapters. PVC fittings. A fitting or adapter is used in pipe systems to connect sections of pipe (designated by nominal size, with greater tolerances of variance) or tube ...

  7. Lead and Copper Rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_and_Copper_Rule

    Lead and Copper Rule. The Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) is a United States federal regulation that limits the concentration of lead and copper allowed in public drinking water at the consumer's tap, as well as limiting the permissible amount of pipe corrosion occurring due to the water itself. [1] The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA ...

  8. Cold water pitting of copper tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_water_pitting_of...

    Copper tubes have been used to distribute potable water within building for many years and hundreds of miles are installed throughout Europe every year. The long life of copper when exposed to natural waters is a result of its thermodynamic stability, its high resistance to reacting with the environment, and the formation of insoluble corrosion products that insulate the metal from the ...

  9. Galvanic anode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_anode

    A galvanic anode, or sacrificial anode, is the main component of a galvanic cathodic protection system used to protect buried or submerged metal structures from corrosion. They are made from a metal alloy with a more "active" voltage (more negative reduction potential / more positive oxidation potential) than the metal of the structure.
