EN 12502-5:2004 (E) 4 Introduction This document mainly results from investigations into and experiences gained of the corrosion of unalloyed and low alloyed ferrous materials (steels and cast irons) in contact with supply waters and raw waters in once-through flow systems. The corrosion likelihood of unalloyed and low alloy ferrous materials (steels and cast irons) in contact with water depends on the layers built up from corrosion products that might or might not be protective. When layers are present that are not protective, tuberculation can appear on the walls of the components and can lead to corrosion effects such as: sludge in water, colouring (red or black water), reduction of free section of pipes or even wall perforation.
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



EN 12502-5:2004 (E) 6 For each type of corrosion, the following influencing factors (described in EN 12502-1:2004, Table 1 and Clause 5) are considered:  characteristics of the metallic material;  characteristics of the water;  design and construction;  pressure testing and commissioning;  operating conditions. 4.2 Uniform corrosion 4.2.1 General Uniform corrosion of steel and cast iron is associated with the transfer of iron (II) ions into the water (metal loss). These ions dissolved in the water can react with oxygen to form less soluble iron (II)-(III)-hydroxy compounds leading to turbidity and sludge formation. These corrosion effects usually do not lead to corrosion damages. Under flowing conditions with waters containing sufficient amounts of calcium carbonate, protective layers consisting of calcium carbonate and hydrated iron oxides can be formed if the intensity of localized corrosion is low enough. With similar waters under stagnant conditions, localized corrosion always occurs. 4.2.2 Influence of the characteristics of the metallic material The chemical composition and microstructure of these materials as well as the cold deformation have virtually no influence on uniform corrosion. 4.2.3 Influence of the characteristics of the water In oxygen containing waters, corrosion damage because of uniform corrosion only occurs when protective layers cannot form. The precondition for the formation of a protective layer is a water composition with: c(O2)
> 3 mg/l
and pH
> 7,0
and c(HCO3-)
> 2 mmol/l and c(Ca2+)
> 1 mmol/l
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



EN 12502-5:2004 (E) 7 4.2.4 Influence of design and construction In water lines designed for water under mainly stagnant conditions, e.g. sprinkler systems, the oxygen concentration rapidly drops under 1 mg/l as a consequence of corrosion. At the same time the pH value increases above 8. The rate of uniform corrosion is insignificant under these condi
