Sandvik 3R12 (ASTM 304L) is our most widely used grade for nitric acid
facilities, capable of handling nitric acid over a wide range of temperatures
and concentrations up to about 60% at the atmospheric boiling point.
Being a versatile austenitic chromium-nickel steel, it can handle most of
the wet corrosion problems appearing after the ammonia converter.
However, under certain conditions, such as higher temperatures, or higher
