I-ROD® ENDS CORROSION AT PIPE SUPPORTS
Corrosion at pipe supports is one of
the leading causes of process piping
failures, which can have potentially
catastrophic results. All styles of pipe
supports – including beam supports
and pipe saddles – create crevices
where water is trapped next to the
pipe’s surface. Corrosion can quickly
undercut the paint film and cause
wall loss. If these conditions are not
addressed, entire sections of pipe can
fail and require replacement.
Deepwater developed the I-Rod®
pipe-support system specifically to Above, the result of crevice corrosion on a pipe. I-Rod ® eliminates the crevice by minimizing the
