One of our BIPSPA MSc students is examining the surface properties of new and used pipes. The study includes samples of different materials (steel, copper, stainless) and different production processes (hot-formed and cold-finished). The objective of the work is to determine the impact of service life exposure on different pipework systems. Using a 10x microscope, […]
The submerge testing of various building services pipework materials has now come to an end after a 6-week experimental programme. The aim of the work was to investigate corrosion mechanisms in different pipework materials when exposed to various water scenarios. All test pipes had been weighed prior to being submerged in specially prepared containers, designed […]
Following the success of our current pipework teaching display at the Building Centre in London, the Building and Industrial Services Pipework Academy (BISPA) are busy creating an all new interactive training pod. The pod will be at the centre of our commitment to support London based Building Service Engineers by providing interactive training sessions. As […]
