Just to share my personal experiences with near pure liquid ammonia and brass/bronze fittings.
A standard compression fitting on a pipe(dont do this its what you do when no s/s fittings are on board and your 4 days steam from land) will last around 4 weeks with liquid ammonia on the inside and salt water on the outside with the combined electrolysis effect of brass/bronze on a s/s pipe.
Ammonia eats the copper out of these alloys, the result is green "rust"
The human nose can detect around 5 parts per million ammonia in the air.
I cant smell any ammonia from my tube!
Im putting it in the wives tail bin until someone can show me a "scientific" study proving degradation of the brass in its lifetime.
