Abstract
Corrosion of water piping is a significant issue that affects essentially all of humanity. It is also a complex issue. Whenever materials are exposed to water, reactions between the water and the pipe material inevitably have led to degradation and corrosion. The complexity in understanding this subject arises from the variety of materials used, the wide range in water chemistry that is considered potable, the range of methods to mitigate corrosion, and the interplay between these factors. Despite the complexity of these systems, the main water quality variables that tend to have the most pronounced influence on corrosion are pH, alkalinity, and inorganic carbon since these impact the rates of dissolution and the stability of protective films and scales that form.
