I can only speak from a wastewater perspective. Many years ago I tapped a 20" ductile iron pipe to inject a chlorine solution.I recall the solution was close to 12% CL. Darn near flooded a pump gallery with wastewater when the brass pipe nipple corroded within a week.Copper would be more resilient. If your exchanger is copper-nickel it might be more resistant. A quick search turned up this site which explains it clearly http://www.gc3.com/techdb/manual/corrfs.htm Bob PDQ 36 Peace
