RedLine vs Purple Ice corrosion test
 
Has anyone done a corrosion test between redline and purple ice? I saw a corrosion test done on redline vs plain distilled water...

i was thinking about doin this being that i have always used redline, and just got a bottle of purple ice.

what do ya think?

I thought that both were intended to give you 0 corrosion ;)

DigitalChaos 01-17-2002 07:23 PM

nothing is 100% :) hence the need for tests hehe

Brad 01-17-2002 07:45 PM

still, they should be fairly similar. It would be interesting though. maybe you should try differing concentrations to

DigitalChaos 01-17-2002 07:57 PM

right now i will just take the recommended mixtures cause i am short on $ to be buyin more.
2oz redline per gal (computer recommended i think car is 6-8 per gal)
8oz water wetter per gal (im assuming this is the car recommended, so ill try a 2 oz also)

Brad 01-17-2002 08:08 PM

just do it in 1oz increments, until you see the temps start to rise again

DigitalChaos 01-17-2002 08:10 PM

thats a whole different test... i was just gonna do corrosion testing with metals in a cup... with the 3 mixtures =)

i care more about longetivity and quietness than a degree or two in performance =)
but i might try that

Brad 01-17-2002 08:22 PM

hehe ok.

you should use some Al, and some Cu in it, thats more real world than just one piece of one sort of metal

DigitalChaos 01-17-2002 09:15 PM

yup .. that was my intent.. probably some brass to.. but that wouldnt matter...
i also wanted to get one EXTREMELY cathodic and one EXTREMELY anodic metal...
that would accelerate the corrosion.... but that would only show which was better.... and not how long they last

Brad 01-17-2002 09:37 PM

just go for the whole thing. CuSil, Silver, Cu, Al, Brass. You might be able to get some stuff free that way

DigitalChaos 01-17-2002 10:25 PM

hehe yea... i would be very suprised if i got a cusl anything for free... and i really have no real background for ppl to want to give me anything... oh well... thats not what its about anyway.... just feel like doin something for the watercooling community

Hook a battery or a wallwart 12v power supply to the two metals. This will speed up the reaction a 1000 fold.

DigitalChaos 01-18-2002 05:16 PM

HA... i didnt think of that one... but i ruled out that testing only because it just compares the performance...... i also want to be able to show how long it will last under fairly normal usage

Brad 01-20-2002 02:41 PM

but if it takes a couple of months, and you haven't seen any differance, then you'll need to speed it up
