◆Results of Introducing NMR Pipe Protectors In January 2007, NMR Pipe Protectors were installed at Buckingham Palace. At that time, Buckingham Palace was using galvanized steel pipes for the air conditioning hot water and hot water supply systems, and the circulating hot water for Queen Elizabeth's room had turned reddish-brown due to rust. The purpose of introducing the NMR Pipe Protectors was to make this water clear and to extend the life of the pipes. Before installation, the iron content in the air conditioning hot water pipes was very high at 16.6 mg/l, and there was a large amount of red rust present in the pipes. After the installation of the NMR Pipe Protectors, a water quality test conducted 24 days later showed that the iron content had decreased to 0.46 mg/l, clearing the standard value of 1.0 mg/l, and the water color had also changed to clear. In the hot water supply pipes, the iron content was 2.8 mg/l before installation, but 24 days after the installation of the NMR Pipe Protectors, it dropped to 0.018 mg/l, significantly clearing the water quality standard of 0.2 mg/l, and the water color also became clear, demonstrating the high rust prevention effectiveness of the NMR Pipe Protectors. Currently, Buckingham Palace is undergoing pipe renovation work, but due to security reasons, construction personnel are generally prohibited from entering the area around Her Majesty's room, making renovations impossible. However, the NMR Pipe Protectors have resolved this issue.
