Profile: Engineered Corrosion Solutions, LLC is a corrosion engineering firm specializing in managing risk associated with leaking fire sprinkler systems. Corrosion in fire sprinkler systems leads to water damage, plugging problems, reduced hydraulic performance and reduced service life. The risks associated with corrosion in fire sprinkler systems include life safety risk, property risk and business continuity risk. In failure analysis a sample of failed sprinkler pipe from a fire sprinkler system that has experienced a leak is dissected and cleaned to determine the most likely cause for the failure (leak). In useful life analysis a sample of sprinkler pipe is extracted from the fire sprinkler system to determine the level of corrosion (metal loss) that has occurred as part of a risk evaluation on the system. This type of analysis is generally done as part of a corrosion assessment on the fire sprinkler system to determine which piping must be replaced as part of a remediation plan. The FM Global standards for pipe replacement recommendations are generally used with this analysis.
