An active building has many service water systems in use for HVAC purposes and many different materials in those systems for corrosion-free containment. All material are expected to last for the useful life of the building. This paper addresses the methods used to thoroughly evaluate these systems using nondestructive and destructive techniques in an attempt to establish a service life so life extension can be considered or system replacement budgeted.
