The SS piping system is located both on the exterior and the interior of a steel ship.
Weather exposed pipes will be coated. (Epoxy 12 mil)
Piping in interior spaces will be subject to condensation due to the temp gradient.
Can condensation be considered an electrolyte allowing galvanic corrosion to occur?
We are currently evaluating the need to isolate the SS pipes from the carbon steel structure by rubber cushions. Or to use zinc coated and/or powder coated U-bolts.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
