As a result of the complex interactions between the various influencing factors, the extent of corrosion can only be expressed in terms of likelihood. This document is a guidance document and does not set explicit rules for the use of unalloyed and low alloy ferrous materials in water systems. It can be used to minimize the likelihood of corrosion damages occurring by:  assisting in designing, installing and operating systems from an anti-corrosion point of view;  evaluating the need for additional corrosion protection methods for a new or existing system;  assisting in failure analysis, when failures occur in order to prevent repeat failures occurring. However, a corrosion expert, or at least a person with technical training and experience in the corrosion field is required to give an accurate assessment of corrosion likelihood or failure analysis.

The types of corrosion considered for steels and cast irons are the following:  uniform corrosion;  pitting corrosion;  selective corrosion;  bimetallic corrosion;  erosion corrosion. SIST EN 12502-5:2005

The type and concentration of natural components (e.g. phosphates, aluminosilicates) dissolved in the water can play an important part in the formation of protective layers. In the absence of protective layers, the corrosion rate is determined by the concentration of oxidizing agents and/or acidic agents, e.g. carbon dioxide. The uniform corrosion rate is very low if: c(O2)
< 0,1 mg/l and
pH
> 8,5 SIST EN 12502-5:2005
4.2.5 Influence of pressure testing and commissioning
Pressure testing and commissioning have no influence on uniform corrosion. 4.2.6 Influence of operating conditions Significant variations of operating conditions can modify uniform corrosion. If no protective scale is formed the rate of uniform corrosion increases with increasing flow rate and/or temperature. For the effect of stagnant conditions, see 4.2.4. 4.3 Pitting corrosion 4.3.1 General Pitting corrosion is the most frequent corrosion effect on steels and cast irons in water distribution and storage systems. It develops from galvanic cells depending on surface conditions of materials, water parameters and service conditions. Anodic areas always form in metallic regions, when the entry of oxygen is hindered by geometrical factors, e.g. in crevices. The bare metallic areas with non-restricted oxygen access form the cathodic area. The corrosion manifests itself in either shallow or steep-sided pits. Pitting corrosion can be enhanced by microbial activity, which can take place in anaerobic conditions, especially under debris. Generally, corrosion rates are high and can rapidly lead to wall perforation of the system. The outer manifestation of corrosion is the formation of tubercles under which anodic areas are to be found, cathodic areas being characterized by relatively thin surface layers. 4.3.2 Influence of the characteristics of the metallic material Pitting corrosion is influenced by the fact that steels and cast irons are iron-carbon alloys with additional elements, intentionally present or as impurities. For materials with compositions given in EN 545, the influence of alloying elements is usually less important than that of other heterogeneities. The surface quality influences the formation of galvanic cells. Anodic areas are favoured by deposits of all types, e.g. oxide scales, residues of oil and paint, corrosion products.
