Pipe cannot be opened because of rust
Pipe cannot be opened because of rust
(OP)
The photo show a pipe fitting.
The outer pipe is made of copper while is inner is apparently made of 203 steal.
However, the 203 steal become rusted and cannot be opened.
Is there a good way to open it without breaking it?
For instance, perhaps with some chemical etching methods that I can remove all the rust?

Penetrating oil. Let it soak in for some days.
Good luck,

To a ChE, the glass is always full - 1/2 air and 1/2 water.

That's not worth the effort. Cut it off.

It looks that the copper fitting was screwed into a male threaded boss nozzle. Did you try to unscrew the copper fitting?
