Summary for stainless piping polishing Discussion
stainless piping for jet fuel is the focus of this short exchange about evening out a dual-coated stainless fuel line while the system stays in operation. TSgt Steven Fernaays of the US Air Force asked what could be used to polish the pipe to a uniform shine after bright spots appeared where assembly numbers had been sanded off. The only answer in the thread comes from an unnamed responder, who suggests brush electropolishing the piping as the preferred approach. No other methods, cautions, or conflicting opinions are given in the excerpt, so the discussion is brief and direct: the proposed solution is a localized electropolishing process rather than a conventional hand polish.
Q. I am in charge of a fuel storage system, our piping is stainless steel. The piping has a dual coating on it with bright spots were the assembly numbers were sanded off. We would like to polish all the pipe to an even shine but we will have to do so while the system is in operation. Any ideas on what to use.
