Chemical Resistance Chart

Introduction

Corrosion and degradation depend on many parameters: Temperature Pressure Concentration Impurities pH-value Materials and surfaces characteristics Joinings (e.g weldings, soldering) Mechanical stress of materials

Due to the many parameters influencing the process the corrosion table can only be used as guidance and do not always apply to the actual process conditions at the end-user. Thus the final responsibility of material selection resides with the user who knows the specific process conditions. The data presented in this guide is based on published data and field experience. Disclaimer Siemens Flow Instruments can provide assistance with the selection of sensor parts in contact with the media. However, the full responsibility for the selection rests with the customer and Siemens Flow Instruments can take no responsibility for any failure due to material incompatibility. How to use this guide The names of the chemicals are listed in alphabetic order. The table is valid for pure chemicals at 20C where nothing else is stated.
