RE: Life Span of Sch-80 Black Steel Piping
seriously, it depends on environmental conditions. 5 years in acideous water, 100 years when you take care of corrosion.
RE: Life Span of Sch-80 Black Steel Piping
Can you please provide me any document reference for 100 years life of blackk steel, schedule 40 pipe.
RE: Life Span of Sch-80 Black Steel Piping
the difference between schedule 40 and 80 is more thickness, which gives you more time to reach that point. but more important is how you treat your water and what environment it is in. Run a lot of hot saltwater with a lot of oxygen through the pipe and embed it in a low pH environment and you see what I mean.
Like car sold in California won't rust in 30 years... take the same car to the rust belt and it will show rust after 10 years or sooner.
