In general, corrosion is the result of water with a low pH (below 7.0). Such acidic waters have lots of hydrogen ions in the water to react with the electrons at the cathode, so corrosion in metal pipes and fixtures is enhanced. Acid water can often be identified by a sour taste, and it will also dry your skin and hair.
What else can I help you with?
Does water flowing through a PVC pipe donate electrons to the pipe creating a surface charge on the un buried pipe?
Water flowing through a PVC pipe does not donate electrons to the pipe. The charge on the pipe is primarily influenced by external factors such as static electricity or friction with other materials, rather than the water itself. The surface charge on the pipe would depend on the material properties and environmental conditions, not the flow of water through it.
What is piped water?
A bong or a water pipe is a special pipe. When a person smokes with a bong, they pull the smoke through the water in it. This makes the smoke not as hot. Most often, either tobacco or cannabis are smoked with it
How do you clean a glass pipe?
rubbing alcohol and salt. small pipe, take a ziploc bag and put the rubbing alcohol and salt into the bag and shake it abck and forth. if its to big, put the mixture in pipe and close the holes and shake back and forth
What caused water to go up in the pipe when you put the bottle in the hot water?
When you put a bottle in hot water, the heat causes the air inside to expand, pushing some of the air out of the bottle. When the bottle is then inverted and placed in cold water, the air inside rapidly contracts, creating lower pressure inside. This lower pressure causes the surrounding water to be drawn up into the bottle to equalize the pressure, resulting in the water rising up the pipe.
How do you get rust off a sewer pipe plug?
To remove rust from a sewer pipe plug, you can use a wire brush or sandpaper to scrub off the rust. You can also try using a rust remover product or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar to loosen and remove the rust. Make sure to properly clean and dry the plug after removing the rust to prevent future corrosion.
When a magnet is dropped in a non ferrous pipe why does it not stop?
Unless a magnet dropped in a non-ferrous pipe is stopped by some imperfection in the pipe surface itself, it will not be stopped because a non-ferrous surface will not cause a magnet to cling to it.
Is PVC pipe ferrous?
No, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) pipe is not ferrous. Ferrous materials contain iron, which PVC does not. Instead, PVC is a type of plastic commonly used for plumbing and construction due to its durability and resistance to corrosion.
Is galvanized pipe ferrous or non ferrous?
Galvanization usually refers to a thin coating of zinc applied mechanically or (usually) electrolytically to steel or cast iron pipework, as a protective coating against rust. Iron and steel (an alloy of iron with carbon and other materials) are ferrous. Overall galvanized pipework is ferrous. The zinc coating is not. Similarly, any coating of paint or rubber doesn't alter the underlying ferrous nature of iron pipe.
What is a water main?
a water main is the main pipe that the city and towns use to move water from place to place. its the main pipe, so if this pipe breaks it can effect a lot of people

A structure like a bridge that was designed to transport water?
You are thinking of an above the ground aqueduct. They were, in effect, a bridge for a water pipe.
When the second pump which is designed for spa whirlpool effect feature only is turned on the spa is draining water through the vent pipe How can you stop this?
If by vent pipe you mean the venturi pipe it sounds as if it is plumbed backwards, in a spa jet you have 2 feed conections, one for water (the bottom pipe) and another for air (top pipe) if plumbed incorrectly water will back up out the venturi line (vent pipe)
If you have a 40 gpm pump delivering water through a 1 and a half inch pipe how high will the flow rise?
When pushing water through "rural class B poly pipe" The maximum flow you can achieve is 80lpm. However if you have the pipe running for 100m in length you loose 30lpm through friction loss. So at the end of the 100meter pipe you would only achieve 50lpm.
What is the effect of UV radiation of sun on PVC pipes and how to protect the pipe from the UV radiation?
The only effect the sun has on PVC pipes is the impact strength of the pipe will be decreased and there will be some discoloration. The tensile strength and pressure strength of the pipe will not be effected. The best way to protect the pipe is to paint it with a water based latex light colored paint.
What is the effect of water pressure at the pipe joints?
Water constantly exerts pressure on pipe joints. I have seen old soldered joints flying apart when subjected to extreme pressure or trains passing nearby. This sometimes happens with plastic pipe also if joints are not thoroughly set .
Can air ingress a dripping water pipe?
Yes, air can ingress a dripping water pipe, particularly if there are gaps or leaks in the pipe fittings or joints. As water drips, a change in pressure can create a vacuum effect that draws air into the pipe. This can occur in both pressurized and non-pressurized systems, potentially affecting water flow and causing issues like air locks. Proper sealing and maintenance of the pipe system can help prevent air ingress.
How do replace sewer clay pipe?
By replacing the piping using either Cast Iron of one of the non ferrous systems available
