Survey algorithm for cold and hot water supply systems of residential buildings by N. A. Makisha, V. A. Chukhin

“…The essence of the proposed method is that a preliminary prepared steel indicator sample cut from an uncoated pipe was placed in a container under a stream of cold or hot water in the investigated water supply system made of galvanized steel pipes (including copper-containing fittings and heat exchangers), the sample was kept under the stream for 3–4 hours until the formation of surfaces of firmly attached corrosion products (sediment).Results. Fistulas were found on horizontal sections, on turns, in places where pipelines are welded. …”
