Selection of static grounding wires for ammonia systems
Thread Content
As the title suggests, for pipelines carrying flammable and explosive materials, it is generally required to install static discharge bonds, which are usually made of copper wires. However, ammonia has a significant corrosive effect on copper and its alloys. So, what material should be used for such static discharge bonds when installing them in the system?
When installing static discharge jumpers according to the system requirements, copper material should be used
The ground wire is outside; there will be no problem as long as there is no leakage.

More or less leakage is inevitable, and over time problems will arise.
Is using aluminum foil effective? Aluminum should be more corrosion-resistant than copper.
If there are frequent leaks of trace amounts of ammonia and corrosion is present, how long can copper be used?
