We are looking at changing out some shaft piping in one of our wet head frames. The problem is the mine will only be running for another 3 years. Does anyone have any literature on the expected corosion rate for pipe in this environment? The pipe has lost 8 to 30% of it's original thickness but it has not been very well documented if any was changed from original in 1966. Does anyone have experience operating a pipe that has reduced thickness below ASME B31.1 thickness?
