At first, I thought what you're saying was silly. But, on further thought,,,,,
How could these pipes have corroded so quickly? I 'm the operator of a small water company, and our tanks have been in use for almost 50 years. They were inspected last year, and the inspector said they were good for another forty years at least. And they're full of rising and falling water, not a lubricant type material. What did they make these pipes out of? Tinfoil?
It was stated on another thread yesterday that sand is pumped out of the ground along with the oil. Over time, it corrodes, or creates thin spots along the pipeline.
What kind of maintenence does one do to prevent corrosion of this nature from happening?
