Corrosion Rate of Steel Pipe for Waste Water?
Corrosion Rate of Steel Pipe for Waste Water?
(OP)
Can anyone point me to a source for corrosion rates of steel pipes that are located inside a building (dry conditions) that are used for kitchen waste water? Waste-water in general would be OK.
I am trying to determine the remaining service life of a 60 year old building drainage system. I believe that it is constructed of standard weight Wrought-Steel pipe.

try this link for the cast iron and pipe institute; http://www.cispi.org/faq.htm
HUD also has standards for life expectancy for various household components. Waste piping is listed in my old manual as a 75-100 year life.
The manual might be available on-line by now. Check around.
