Effect of Pipe Diameter on Electrochemical Behavior of 304 Stainless Steel Pipes in Tap Water

Introduction Stainless steel finds extensive use in piping distribution networks for potable water and is normally resistant to corrosion due to its chromium oxide film. However, smaller diameter pipes may experience altered electrochemical behaviors affecting long-term integrity depending on mass transport limitations. This paper investigates the influence of pipe diameter […]
