Factors To Consider When Choosing Nitric Acid-Resistant Valves
Choosing the right valve for long-lasting performance depends on several factors:
- Pipeline installation and removal: Unless manufacturers use exclusive piping for nitric acid processes, valves need to support streamlined installation and removal on demand.
- Dilution: The right valve type for nitric acid resistance depends heavily on whether the diluted or pure formulation is used.
- Process temperatures: High-performance fluoropolymers are not compatible with steam service or temperatures exceeding 149 degrees Celsius.
- Abrasive media: Some chemical processes require heavy-duty valves, especially when slurries or abrasive liquids are present.
Our expert team is happy to assist manufacturers in selecting valves for every nitric acid application.
