Corrosion Rate

The speed (usually an average) with which corrosion progresses (it may be linear for a while); often expressed as though it were linear, in units of mdd (milligrams per square decimeter per day) for weight change, or mpy (milligrams per year) for thickness changes.

Corrugated pipe

Pipe with ridges (corrugations) going around it to make it stiffer and stronger. The corrugations are usually in the form of a sine wave a+B181nd are usually made of galvanized steel or aluminum.
