The influence of soil heterogeneity on the corrosion of underground metallic pipelines and
the resulting evolution of localised corrosion patches were examined. A field-validated …

Field evidence revealed that buried cast iron water pipes can deteriorate through large
localized corrosion patches with lengths greater than 1 m, formed by a cluster of small pits …

Water pipe surface deterioration is the result of continuous electrochemical reactions
attacking the surface due to the interaction of the pipe surface with environments through the …

Defects may appear or further develop in cast iron pipes lined with polymeric liners in the
form of surface corrosion pits/patches, through-wall holes, gaps, longitudinal cracks …

Defects such as through-wall holes may significantly affect the performance of cast iron
pipes lined with polymeric liners. Literature review reveals that the hole spanning design …

The corrosion performance of the Cu-Al layered composite plates in a salt spray
circumstance with different concentrations of NaCl solution was studied, and the relevant …

Inspection and assessment of ageing buried metallic infrastructure such as pipelines can be
costly, especially when soil sampling programs are involved to evaluate large networks and …

Soil corrosivity was an active problem of water pipeline damaged by corrosion that affects
the performance of pipe manufacturers. In Addis ababa, groundwater pipelines were facing …

Cast iron water main represents a significant portion of municipal infrastructure in North
America and worldwide. The aging cast-iron pipes are subjected to deterioration due to …

Direct electrochemical tests were conducted to evaluate the corrosion rate and interference
of the stray current on district heating pipelines in real soil environments. The tests were …
