  2. Limescale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limescale

    Limescale build-up inside a pipe reduces both liquid flow through the pipe and thermal conduction from the liquid to the outer pipe shell. Both effects will reduce the pipe's overall thermal efficiency when used as a heat exchanger. Limescale is a hard, chalky deposit, consisting mainly of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3).

  3. Descaling agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descaling_agent

    Limescale build-up inside a pipe reduces both liquid flow and thermal conduction from the pipe, so will reduce thermal efficiency when used as a heat exchanger.. A descaling agent or chemical descaler is a liquid chemical substance used to remove limescale from metal surfaces in contact with hot water, such as in boilers, water heaters, and kettles.

  8. Granite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granite

    The melting temperature of dry granite at ambient pressure is 1215–1260 °C (2219–2300 °F); [13] it is strongly reduced in the presence of water, down to 650 °C at a few hundred megapascals of pressure. [14] Granite has poor primary permeability overall, but strong secondary permeability through cracks and fractures if they are present.

  9. Decomposed granite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decomposed_granite

    Different specific granite types have differing propensities to weather, and so differing likelihoods of producing decomposed granite. The parent granite material is a common type of igneous rock that is granular, with its grains large enough to be distinguished with the unaided eye (i.e., it is phaneritic in texture); it is composed of ...
