[NMR Pipe Protector] Effectiveness Demonstrated through X-ray Inspection | Hokkaido Condominium
Effectiveness demonstrated by X-ray inspection of the water supply pipes in the condominium 19 years after the installation of the NMR pipe protector.
Nineteen years after the installation of the NMR pipe protector, an inspection was conducted by the condominium management association of a 9-story, 110-unit building in Sapporo, Hokkaido, when the building was 32 years old. They commissioned an external investigation company to examine the condition of red rust deterioration at the water supply pipe joints. Ten locations were selected within the pipe space of the water supply pipes (pipe diameters 25A to 65A) from the 1st to the 9th floor, and a non-destructive inspection using X-rays was performed on the joint areas. The results of the X-ray inspection showed that out of the ten locations, eight had no signs of red rust deterioration at the pipe joints. The other two locations showed only slight traces of corrosion, which were estimated to have occurred before the installation of the NMR pipe protector. This demonstrated that the red rust deterioration of the water supply pipes in this condominium had been completely prevented. Although the NMR pipe protector cannot prevent corrosion on the outside of the pipes, slight external corrosion was observed. However, by preventing external corrosion with anti-rust coatings, both the exterior and interior can be preserved. *Images and inspection results are quoted from a report by a certain industrial inspection agency.
