[Steam-engine] boiler plumbing question-

[Jim Showers]

I was told by the WV boiler inspector that galvanized pipe is pipe that has
minor inspection flaws that the galvanizing process plugs up and makes the
pipe suitaable for water use.  There is also the galvanic action issue which
would be enhanced by the increased temperature and pressure.
