20、tigations into and experiences gained of the corrosion of unalloyed and low alloyed ferrous materials (steels and cast irons) in contact with supply waters and raw waters in once- through flow systems. The corrosion likelihood of unalloyed and low alloy ferrous materials (steels and cast irons) in c

21、ontact with water depends on the layers built up from corrosion products that might or might not be protective. When layers are present that are not protective, tuberculation can appear on the walls of the components and can lead to corrosion effects such as: sludge in water, colouring (red or black

22、 water), reduction of free section of pipes or even wall perforation. As a result of the complex interactions between the various influencing factors, the extent of corrosion can only be expressed in terms of likelihood. This document is a guidance document and does not set explicit rules for the us

23、e of unalloyed and low alloy ferrous materials in water systems. It can be used to minimize the likelihood of corrosion damages occurring by: assisting in designing, installing and operating systems from an anti-corrosion point of view; evaluating the need for additional corrosion protection methods

24、 for a new or existing system; assisting in failure analysis, when failures occur in order to prevent repeat failures occurring. However, a corrosion expert, or at least a person with technical training and experience in the corrosion field is required to give an accurate assessment of corrosion lik

25、elihood or failure analysis. EN 12502-5:2004 (E) 5 1 Scope This document reviews the influencing factors for the corrosion likelihood of bare unalloyed or low alloyed ferrous materials (mild steels and cast irons) used as tubes, tanks and equipment in water distribution and storage systems, except f

The types of corrosion considered for steels and cast irons are the following: uniform corrosion; pitting corrosion; selective corrosion; b

30、imetallic corrosion; erosion corrosion. EN 12502-5:2004 (E) 6 For each type of corrosion, the following influencing factors (described in EN 12502-1:2004, Table 1 and Clause 5) are considered: characteristics of the metallic material; characteristics of the water; design and construction; pressure t

31、esting and commissioning; operating conditions. 4.2 Uniform corrosion 4.2.1 General Uniform corrosion of steel and cast iron is associated with the transfer of iron (II) ions into the water (metal loss). These ions dissolved in the water can react with oxygen to form less soluble iron (II)-(III)-hyd

32、roxy compounds leading to turbidity and sludge formation. These corrosion effects usually do not lead to corrosion damages. Under flowing conditions with waters containing sufficient amounts of calcium carbonate, protective layers consisting of calcium carbonate and hydrated iron oxides can be forme

33、d if the intensity of localized corrosion is low enough. With similar waters under stagnant conditions, localized corrosion always occurs. 4.2.2 Influence of the characteristics of the metallic material The chemical composition and microstructure of these materials as well as the cold deformation ha

34、ve virtually no influence on uniform corrosion. 4.2.3 Influence of the characteristics of the water In oxygen containing waters, corrosion damage because of uniform corrosion only occurs when protective layers cannot form. The precondition for the formation of a protective layer is a water compositi

35、on with: c(O 2 ) 3 mg/land pH 7,0 and c(HCO 3 - ) 2 mmol/l and c(Ca 2+ ) 1 mmol/lThe type and concentration of natural components (e.g. phosphates, aluminosilicates) dissolved in the water can play an important part in the formation of protective layers. In the absence of protective layers, the corr

36、osion rate is determined by the concentration of oxidizing agents and/or acidic agents, e.g. carbon dioxide. The uniform corrosion rate is very low if: c(O 2 ) 8,5 EN 12502-5:2004 (E) 7 4.2.4 Influence of design and construction In water lines designed for water under mainly stagnant conditions, e.g

37、. sprinkler systems, the oxygen concentration rapidly drops under 1 mg/l as a consequence of corrosion. At the same time the pH value increases above 8. The rate of uniform corrosion is insignificant under these conditions. However, if fresh oxygenated water is brought into the system during testing

38、, then blockage of sprinkler heads with corrosion debris can result. 4.2.5 Influence of pressure testing and commissioning Pressure testing and commissioning have no influence on uniform corrosion. 4.2.6 Influence of operating conditions Significant variations of operating conditions can modify unif

39、orm corrosion. If no protective scale is formed the rate of uniform corrosion increases with increasing flow rate and/or temperature. For the effect of stagnant conditions, see 4.2.4. 4.3 Pitting corrosion 4.3.1 General Pitting corrosion is the most frequent corrosion effect on steels and cast irons

40、 in water distribution and storage systems. It develops from galvanic cells depending on surface conditions of materials, water parameters and service conditions. Anodic areas always form in metallic regions, when the entry of oxygen is hindered by geometrical factors, e.g. in crevices. The bare met

41、allic areas with non-restricted oxygen access form the cathodic area. The corrosion manifests itself in either shallow or steep-sided pits. Pitting corrosion can be enhanced by microbial activity, which can take place in anaerobic conditions, especially under debris. Generally, corrosion rates are h

42、igh and can rapidly lead to wall perforation of the system. The outer manifestation of corrosion is the formation of tubercles under which anodic areas are to be found, cathodic areas being characterized by relatively thin surface layers. 4.3.2 Influence of the characteristics of the metallic materi

43、al Pitting corrosion is influenced by the fact that steels and cast irons are iron-carbon alloys with additional elements, intentionally present or as impurities. For materials with compositions given in EN 545, the influence of alloying elements is usually less important than that of other heteroge

44、neities. The surface quality influences the formation of galvanic cells. Anodic areas are favoured by deposits of all types, e.g. oxide scales, residues of oil and paint, corrosion products. EN 12502-5:2004 (E) 8 4.3.3 Influence of the characteristics of the water The likelihood of pitting corrosion

45、 decreases with increasing concentration of hydrogen carbonate ions because they are part of a buffering system that is able to neutralize the acidity caused by hydrolysis of the iron ions within the pit. The likelihood of pitting corrosion increases with increasing concentrations of chloride, sulfa

46、te and nitrate ions because they replace hydrogen carbonate ions and are not able to buffer the acidity formed within in the pit. Surface waters that contain higher amounts of organic matter increase the likelihood of microbially enhanced pitting corrosion. 4.3.4 Influence of design and construction

47、 Stagnant conditions, which favour the onset of pitting corrosion, predominantly occur in dead legs in iron and steel pipes. Crevices formed by hidden recesses, lap joints, badly executed joints and other geometrical factors can induce anodic spots of corrosion elements. The introduction of organic

48、materials, e.g. oil, grease, which can be a source of nutrient for micro-organisms, favour the occurrence of microbial corrosion. In sprinkler systems a very high risk of pitting corrosion exists in the tubes coming from storage vessels with pressurized air, because of the high oxygen content of this water. 4.3.5 Influence of pressure testing and commissioning If pressure testing is not done according to the recommendations given in EN 12502-1:2004, 5.5, leaving residual water in t
