Effect of Stainless Steel on copper
Effect of Stainless Steel on copper
(OP)
We have a threaded copper header (AHU)that should be connected to carbon Steel piping. We planned to install dielctric sleeves between copper falnge and carbon steel flange but the problem is unavailability of Copper flange. The supplier is providing stainless steel flange instead of copper flange.
Now I have two problems
1. combination of copper header with stainless steel flange.
2. Dielctric between Stainless steel and Carbon steel
Can Anybody explain me the effect of stainless steel on copper

If it is an electrically conductive fluid then you are at risk of galvanic corrosion of the Cu. The SS will be much more noble under most conditions.

You can easily use an ohmmeter to measure the resistance across an insulated flange.

"stainless steel and copper tubes can usually be
joined without problems resulting, but accelerated corrosion
of the copper tube is likely to occur if it is attached to a
stainless steel tank"
