SUMMARY

The discussion centers on identifying materials that are completely non-corrosive to water and oxygen, with a specific focus on applications in gas analysis. Participants suggest Polyethylene (PE) and Aluminum 6061 as potential candidates. The inquiry emphasizes the need for materials that can withstand exposure to both water and oxygen without degradation. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding both chemical properties and physical characteristics in selecting suitable materials.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of material properties, specifically corrosion resistance
  • Familiarity with Polyethylene (PE) and Aluminum 6061
  • Knowledge of gas permeability testing methods
  • Basic principles of chemical interactions with materials
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the corrosion resistance of Polyethylene (PE) in various environments
  • Investigate the properties and applications of Aluminum 6061 in gas analysis
  • Explore advanced coatings and treatments for enhancing material durability
  • Learn about gas permeability testing techniques for different materials
USEFUL FOR

Materials scientists, chemical engineers, and professionals in gas analysis seeking to select non-corrosive materials for testing and application purposes.

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.)
