316SS threaded into carbon steel fitting
(OP)
Our plant owner is concerned with galvanic corrosion between a 1/2" 316SS MNPT chemical injection quill that is threaded into a A105 carbon steel threadolet. The threads will be sealed with a Liquid-O-Ring 404SYN thread compound.
My thinking is that since the threads are sealed there will be no conductive medium (e.g. water) present for corrosion to take place, so this shouldn't be a concern.
Does anyone have experience with such a situation that could confirm or correct my reasoning?

The thread sealant won't electrically isolate the carbon from the stainless steel, and it will only exclude water from threads where it's present.
