Piping material for Sea water service for Foam pipelines
Piping material for Sea water service for Foam pipelines
(OP)
As per NFPA 11 Galvanised CS pipe is acceptable for sea water service for foam piping on the fire protection system.
I have a feeling that galvanised is not a good choice because for a site installation galvanisation will be damaged and start rapid corrosion for CS pipe.
We are planning to use GRP ( Bondstarand ) pipe for tank foam piping. Will this be acceptable to NFPA code
Any comments will be appriaciated.
