Internal corrosion of copper and copper alloys in water distribution and storage systems generally leads to the build-up of layers formed by corrosion products, which can or cannot be protective. In some cases corrosion can lead to the impairment of the function of the system or failure because of corrosion damage (see Table 1). SIST EN 12502-2:2005

4.2.1 General
Experience shows that corrosion damage to copper and copper alloys as a result of uniform corrosion is rare. The occurrence of uniform corrosion of these materials strongly depends on the properties of the surface layers that are formed. Blue-green staining of sanitary equipment and blue-green coloured water arising from dripping taps is an indicator of copper ions in the water and hence of uniform corrosion, but it cannot be taken as an indicator of corrosion damage of the copper or copper alloy component itself. Copper ions in water can promote pitting corrosion of less noble metals (e.g. zinc, iron) in the same circuit by depositing as metallic copper, which enhances the local activity of the cathodic oxygen reduction. Protective layers consisting of copper corrosion products normally form on copper and copper alloys. In a few cases the layer is very thin, brown and homogeneous and consists of copper (I) oxide and copper (II) oxide. In most cases, however, there is sufficient hydrogen carbonate in the water to allow the formation of a layer of copper hydroxycarbonate Cu2(OH)2CO3 above the copper (I) oxide and copper (II) oxide. This occurs during the initial operating period, progressively forming a green scale. The actual copper concentration is influenced by the water composition and the time and conditions of operation such as high flow rates and water hammer. Although copper corrosion products are only sparingly soluble, copper ions are released into water. The formation of copper ions caused by uniform corrosion and dissolution of corrosion products under stagnant conditions leads to an increase of the concentration of copper ions in the water. The detectable number of copper ions will depend on: SIST EN 12502-2:2005
