Engineers, installers, inspectors, designers and managers of piping industry always had this fear of corrosion, until copper arrived loud and barging in, which took the whole industry by surprise. Before copper, most of the pipes used either aluminium or expensive alloys which can avoid corrosion and hence make the life longer of the structure.
Due to corrosion, much of the piping projects were required to re-create the pipes and replace the deteriorating portions so that the materials underneath are not wasted and the corporations involved does not incur losses.
Though there exists no clear valuations, but it is estimated that bare copper wire alone saved more than 50 billion dollars of expenditures in these replacements.
It is well known that piping are always exposed to the atmospheric conditions which can be termed as extreme in some cases. Under such circumstances, it is natural for the materials used to create pipes, to experience conditions which resemble and replicate corrosion.
The hidden science of this property:
As soon as copper interacts with such compounds, which intensify corrosion such as constant liquid flow, moisture, winds, fire etc, it creates a thin film which protects the underlying structure from these compounds. This is known as patina.Due to this feature, the usage and implementation of copper wire is always increasing within the piping industry.
