reference for identifying corrosive or non-corossive fluid

[farahnaz77]

where can I find that a fluid is corrosive or not?

 

[epoisses]

Take a look at the label on the bottle....?

farahnaz77,

I assume you are looking for corrosion guides? Other people probably have better guides, but

http://www.leightonstone.com/ashcroft/Corrosion_Guide.pdf

has a pretty comprehensive list of chemicals and their compatibility with some metals, alloys and polymers.
If you have a specific fluid in mind, you should be able to find incompatability charts, or specific charts that would give you more detail on the degree of impact it will have on various other substances.
Hope this helps.

Your question- corrosive or not- should include additional information: corrosive at which concentration (and T) and to what material. You know probably that sulfuric acid is generaly considered corrosive but to some concentration (and temperature) it does not corrode lead.
To be sure what material to choose in your specific application you should perform corrosion tests.

To add to m777182's comment, add:

And impurities.

Trace components can make a big difference in the corrosiveness of a mixture. And it's one of the most difficult to quantify, especially for a new process or with changing feedstocks.
