Standpipe Construction

For those of you with standpipes in their exhaust systems, what material was used to make them?

I have a Tartan 34 Classic. All originally have a standpipe.
The standpipe is made of bronze. Lead up to by black pipe which
is threaded into the bottom of the cylinder.

Black Iron.
Home Depot special

??? - Is the standpipe the same thing as the riser?
If not, then I don't have one.

Good question. I would say that a standpipe is indeed a riser that elevates the exhaust to such a level that the engine does not have to drive water uphill. So a standpipe is always a riser, but a riser is not a standpipe.

Could someone please explain in greater detail the diagram of risers and
standpipes? I think I have a standpipe, especially since the engine is
buried in the keel on the Tartan 34C. The water must push uphill though.

Thanks

Art,
Is the question how the standpipe system works or whether or not you have one? Or both?

Here is a link to an original standpipe ( Tartan 34c ) deconstructed to show internal configuration and the fabrication of a new one.
