Sounds like inhibitors meant for usage in long term stagnancy in fire response systems such as fire hydrants or sprinkler systems. The materials would be copper lines for sprinkler systems and probably galvanized, concrete, or cast iron for hydrant systems.
I just went off of my knowledge of construction protocols, thin tube systems are usually copper, larger tubes such as hydrant feeds are going to be iron based, (ductile iron?) and or coated.
usually bioside will inject to fire water system as water remain rest in fire water tank.
and as desalinated water/sea water is used for fire water system the pipes usually slected as GRP ,and dried pipe will be copper-nickel pipe.this statment is for process plants.
usually in city area pipes of fire water system shall be galvaized CS and may be some engineering is select CS.
the quality of fire water shall be appropriate it shall not caused any corrosion .
if piping material are selected not well then corrosion inhibitor material shall be injected. regards
