Which color of Gylon is suitable for 35% hydrochloric acid piping

Which color of Gylon is suitable for 35% hydrochloric acid piping

Which color of Gylon is suitable for 35% hydrochloric acid piping

(OP)
Want to use blue gylon but not sure if it is good enough.

RE: Which color of Gylon is suitable for 35% hydrochloric acid piping

Try calling your local gasket supplier, for one thing.

I don't know about the alternatives, but we had stick shock last time we bought any blue gylon- stuff was expensive.

RE: Which color of Gylon is suitable for 35% hydrochloric acid piping

For 10% to 93 % concentrations not to exceed 175 deg f we use Garlock "Gylon" 3504 which is blue.  

I agree with Jstephen though just phone your gasket manufacturer if in doubt.  

As a side note make sure you use safety shields on the flange joints - expecially in high traffic areas to prevent spraying.

RE: Which color of Gylon is suitable for 35% hydrochloric acid piping

Gylon 3500 (Fawn) and 3504 (Blue) are both compatible.  Neither one will seal well with plastic, or PTFE lined flanges.  If you have non-metallic or lined flanges, you may want to look at an expanded PTFE material like GORE-TEX or Inertex.  No worry with compatibility with these 100% ePTFE materials.
