flux
Flux describes any effect that appears to pass or travel (whether it actually moves or not) through a surface or substance. Flux is a concept in applied mathematics and vector calculus which has many applications to physics. For transport phenomena, flux is a vector quantity, describing the magnitude and direction of the flow of a substance or property. In vector calculus flux is a scalar quantity, defined as the surface integral of the perpendicular component of a vector field over a surface.
I'm currently refurbishing a room. Plumber has been in for first fix to lay new pipework for new radiators.
He's laid fresh copper pipe, however around the joints they are all green which I believe is flux residue he hasn't cleaned up after soldering.
Not the cleanest of jobs but I'm not too...
A few weeks ago I found a flux with an engineer.It's not a typicall flux you can buy like powerflux for example.What is interesting, after soldering ,the joint looks very shiny.Also ,if your skin is sensitive doesn't irritates,moreover pipes and even hands are clean(not making green )
Any clues...
Has anyone tried Oatey 95 Tinning Flux?
Basically it's flux that contains solder that coats the fitting and the pipe when you heat it while soldering end feed and is supposed to tin the joint and fill in any gaps that might happen when soldering. Thought it might be worth a go for soldering in...

In the last year or so I have had spectacular, painful, itching and blistering whenever I do soldering work and it even seems to happen when wearing nitrile fronted, cloth backed gloves now.
Is this a documented thing? It...

Any advice wold be appreciated.
If working on a new build estate and first fixing in copper, if the houses hot and cold water and heating system is fillled for around a year could this cause problems with corrosion from any flux internally on the pipe?
I always wipe my hands on my shirt if I have flux on etc. Then after the wash my shirts, sweatshirts and trousers all go red or have patches of red(orignally black) lol.
Anyone have the same problem? Lol.

Hi all as the title says, what is the best flux to use?
For example at the moment I am using laco.
Also I use lead free solder with it.
Does anyone use a leaded solder with a certain flux for central heating pipework?
Thanks.:tounge_smile:
