SUMMARY:Corrosion in Sprinkler Systems: A Look at a Long-Term Experiment
DESCRIPTION:Internal corrosion of fire sprinkler systems is a major concern in the reliability and life of the system(s). Corrosion in sprinkler systems can affect the system’s hydraulics and cause system leakage\, which may result in property damage\, as well as significant replacement costs. Fire sprinkler systems are subject to deterioration through different forms of corrosion. This webinar looks at the types of corrosion that occur in sprinkler systems\, different methods of mitigating corrosion\, and an overview and update to the long-term corrosion research project at Oklahoma State University. \nThe registration deadline is 11:59 PM the day before the webinar. \n Register & More Info\n  \n
