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.
