Q » What factors cause increase in pipe friction over time?

A » Over time, pipe friction increases due to factors such as corrosion, scaling, and biofilm formation. Corrosion roughens the pipe surface, increasing resistance to fluid flow. Scaling, often from mineral deposits, narrows the pipe diameter, further hindering flow. Biofilm, a microbial layer, also adds to surface roughness and can obstruct the passage, compounding frictional losses. Regular maintenance and cleaning are essential to minimize these effects and maintain efficient water flow.
