Testing Indicates:
Comments:
Testing at this new steel pipe surprisingly identified low wall thickness and high corrosion
activity similar to estimates produced for other areas of the condenser water system.
Undersized pipe may partially contribute to this wall loss.

Comments:
Another example at this new corrosion coupon installation showing very high corrosion
activity, and with lowest wall thickness measurements approaching minimum limits. Threads
at the adjacent strainer and coupling are leaking; supporting this finding.

corrosion condition rather than undersized pipe. Deep pitting is found in one area at below
minimum limits. No reliable service life remains.
