What is ferrous piping?
Ferrous piping refers to piping made from iron or steel, which are both ferrous metals.

However, they are susceptible to corrosion, so appropriate protective measures such as coatings or cathodic protection may be necessary.
Is it better to use galvanized or black iron pipe when piping LP gas in a outside application?
Galvanized for water, black for gas. You can always paint the black if you are worried about it rusting. That would depend on local codes as many do not allow the use of galvanized and other codes state "where moisture is present galvanizing coating shall be applied. There is no one code that fits all as some codes follow OSHA guide lines when it comes to color coding of piping so painting black is NOT always an option

Why is renewable energy not so commercialized?
Renewable energy is not so commercialized because it is too expensive.
