Hi Jagdeep
Is it instrument air from a drier? If you use a desiccant drier, what is the
desiccant you use? If refrigerant drier, what refrigerant? Any source of
ammonia/ammonium will destroy copper. Black deposits are an indicator.
If you have no drier, are you sure the problem is not erosion from water
droplets or line crud? Instrument air is often in short supply and high line
velocities do not argee with copper.
How do you know the problem is corrosion?
Cheers
Steve McKenzie

Hi Stev,
Thanks for showing interest. The copper tube has show corrosion at
the Brass fitting end. The line is - Plant Air for the
Instruments.
