Effect of connection methods on lead release from galvanic corrosion
Laboratory experiments were performed to evaluate the effect of galvanic corrosion on lead release following simulated partial lead service line replacements. Experiments were conducted in a recirculating flow mode with intermittent stagnation periods using aged lead pipes harvested from Washington, D.C. Lead pipe and copper tubing were connected by brass, brass dielectric, and plastic couplings; additional experiments were performed with plastic couplings and an external wire to connect the lead and copper. Lead release increased in the order of systems connected with plastic, plastic with external wires, brass dielectric, and brass couplings. The trends are consistent with galvanic reactions between lead and copper and between lead and brass. For systems with galvanic corrosion, the increased lead release was primarily in a particulate form. Increasing the chloride‐to‐sulfate mass ratio from 0.7 to 7 did not increase the dissolved or total lead release.
