Notes:
Instances of rapid failure of copper-pipe plumbing in potable-water systems installed in large municipal buildings have led to a review of the use of alternative materials including stainless steel. This paper reports the findings of an in-situ study which investigated biofilm development on types 304 and 316 stainless-steel piping in a filtered and unfiltered, hot and cold-water supply system installed in a large public building in the west of Scotland. This building had experienced severe corrosion problems with copper pipework.
