grease structural MS pipe from inside, any harmful types?
grease structural MS pipe from inside, any harmful types?
(OP)
Hi colleagues
Is there any types/components of grease that would be harmful to structural MS pipes?
The approach is prevent internal pipe corrosion.
Thanks

RE: grease structural MS pipe from inside, any harmful types?
First, please clarify for me, what do you intend to do;- are you trying to harm the pipe with grease? It would be easier to blow it to bits, very quick and complete harm. Are you trying to prevent internal corrosion with harmful grease? That's a bit harder, you might need to remove the harmful bits from the grease (or don't add it to the grease). Are you trying to protect internally the pipe to prevent corrosion and you used the word harmful by mistake? There are many different type of treatment you may use for the corrosion protection of structural pipe, inetrnal and external, depending on size, application, etc. One way could be hot dip galvanized (no grease required), if it would fit in the zinc bath. The grease might provide some short term protection, but I wouldn't recommend it for long term.
Please come back with clarifications on what you try to achieve.

I meant that I want to protect internal side of the pipe by applying grease/oil so I wanted to get a knowledge if there are any oil/grease that may ha e harmful effect rather than protection.
The structure will be air tight from inside, but thought coat of oil will also be good to apply.
Engine oil shouldn't have any harmfull components?

But why wouldn't you use motor oil dear hokie66? Just for knowledge. ..

Closed steel structures require very little treatment, but they must actually be sealed.

You need a surface treatment that is engineered to do many things:
not absorb water
stay stuck to the surface
block oxygen
have corrosion inhibitors
suppress biological growth
A common oil or grease will not do any of these things very well.
