Factors that can degrade steel piping materials or affect their functionality include pH, soil and water resistivity, abrasion resistance, chloride, sulfate or acid corrosion, fire resistance, crack growth and oxidation of thermoplastics, and steel Electrochemical corrosion.
The above factors will affect the expected service life of the pipeline, and the most effective way to ensure that the pipeline will meet the expected service life is to perform regular maintenance and ensure that the fluid condition does not exceed the design parameters.
In practice, due to natural and man-made factors such as geology, fluid properties, and climatic conditions, design parameters, and actual site conditions may vary greatly.
