Yes, natural gas can corrode solder on copper pipes over time. This is due to the sulfur compounds present in natural gas that can react with the copper and cause deterioration of the solder joint. It is essential to use approved materials and proper installation techniques when working with natural gas lines to prevent corrosion issues.
platinum, gold, brass, acrylic, plastic, solder, and lots more. alloys that don't react with water are sequins, brass, steel, pewter and also many more.
Yes, citric acid can react with copper to form copper citrate. This reaction is often used in cleaning and polishing copper surfaces.
To remove concrete without affecting plastic pipes inside, you can use a chipping hammer or jackhammer with a chisel attachment to carefully chip away at the concrete around the pipes. Take your time and work slowly to avoid damaging the pipes. It's also a good idea to have a professional plumber assess the situation before and after the concrete removal to ensure the pipes are intact.
No, wood fires typically do not get hot enough to burn away pure copper. Pure copper has a high melting point of 1,984°F (1,085°C), while wood fires generally burn at temperatures ranging from 600-900°F (315-480°C).
COPPER TURNINGS - Copper Turnings are the shavings of copper metal (often left after manufacturing of copper goods in factories are used mostly in schools for studying chemical reactions as it provide more surface area for reaction than a piece of copper ). They have the same color as copper (reddish brown).
platinum, gold, brass, acrylic, plastic, solder, and lots more. alloys that don't react with water are sequins, brass, steel, pewter and also many more.
Common materials used for making pipes include steel, copper, PVC (polyvinyl chloride), and PEX (cross-linked polyethylene). These materials are chosen for their durability, corrosion resistance, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness in various applications.
Depending if you are talking about stainless steel or galvanised steel. Either way, you need to use copper compression fittings, otherwise known as conex fittings in some countries. Also, you need to be aware of galvanic corrosion if you are connecting copper pipes to galvanized steel pipes. The joint will rot away from the electrolytic action in a few years unless you use a dielectric union or other insulating separation.
Solder.

They are the exhaust pipes, they take away the burnt fuel gasses.
Solder has an expiration date because of the flux content. It does not go bad-per say, but the flux will dissipate out of the solder after a while. It's still useable, but the flux content may be slightly diminished. Also, over time the solder oxidizes. For home or hobby use, it's fine. But in a manufacturing atmosphere, you need to be prepared to throw some away every year.
It is generally safe to solder inside as long as you work in a well-ventilated area to prevent inhaling fumes. It's important to wear safety gear such as gloves and eye protection to protect yourself while soldering. Additionally, be cautious of flammable materials nearby and use a heat-resistant surface to work on.
Copper pipes are marked with red or blue lines sometimes to show that they are type L or type M (type L is bendable, type M is rigid and has thinner walls). Some plumbers I have seen use red paint markers for marking cuts, others use pencils or other colors of paint markers, and I've even seen china pencils used. The paint markers I've seen are similar to the ones machinists use, they tend not to wash or wipe away easily.
They are used when soldering fragile electrical components to isolate the heat to the solder joint and away from the component

Natural diamonds from the Earth originate in kimberlite pipes, and can be swept away by water or glaciers. This means that some diamonds are found in river beds and at the mouths of rivers as they empty into salt water.
