摘要：This test method covers the determination of the corrosiveness of copper and brass using the petroleumproducts. Brass offers much better thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance than carbon or even stainless steel.Copper is a chemical element. It is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal with very high thermal and electricalconductivity .This study was carried out to investigate and evaluate the influence of fossil fuel like petrol, diesel,kerosene and grease on the corrosion performance of brass and copper. The samples were prepared for the study bycutting into 1 cm2 coupons and soaking them in different containers containing petrol, kerosene, grease and diesel. Thecorrosion rate of each sample for a specific period of immersion (24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours) was determined onaverage of three samples exposed under the same condition and test media in different container. The finding showedthat brass is resistant to corrosion after long hours of contact in chosen liquid fossil fuels.
