00:55:44

Do you want to learn more about the process of corrosion, and its effects on fire sprinklers?

Corrosion is a process caused by a chemical or electrochemical reaction resulting in material - typically a metal - to deteriorate as it ages. Corrosion is a serious concern for fire sprinklers, as their components are made primarily of metal. This TechTalks episode will explore the impact of corrosion on sprinkler reliability and share information on our corrosion resistant offerings. Additional topics include requirements of fire sprinkler codes and standards, and the mandatory corrosion testing for sprinklers.
