AI Thread Summary
A user seeks advice on finding a material that is completely non-corrosive to water, oxygen, and nitrogen for testing permeability in gas analytical applications. Suggestions include using polyethylene, particularly in a powder-coated form. The discussion also touches on the potential use of aluminum, specifically 6061 alloy, as a candidate material. The user is looking for both material options and possible treatments to achieve non-corrosiveness. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity on the physical characteristics required for the material.

Hello gentlemen -

New to the forum here! ... I have what I hope is an easy question for my Materials & Chemical buds.
Is there any material that is 100 percent non-corrosive against water and oxygen (sometimes nitrogen)? ... I work for a Gas Analytical company, whereas we test the permeability for different materials.
To do so, we run a mixture of water and oxygen (or nitrogen) through these units.

Not sure if I'm really explaining this well enough.
I'm basically looking for a material that will be non-corrosive, or a "treatment" that would satisfy the objective.

Any help would be so appreciated.

Mike

Welcome to PF.
Maybe Polyethylene. PE powder coated.
You give chemical properties, but what physical characteristics must the material have?
 
Thanks Baluncore - the material would most likely be Aluminum (6061 or sim.)
