ferric chloride service
(OP)
Hello,
Curious what metal might be recommended for service in ferric chloride anhydrous at 180F? Any water produces nasty HCL as a by-product, thus material to be kept very dry.
I was thinking Alloy 2205 may do well.
However, need the material available in 16" pipe.
Any ideas.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
MecoMan

As long as the system is warm and dry there are a lot of materials that will work. Dow has published a number of papers on this subject.

The plan is to keep it dry to avoid the HCL and increased corrosion.
Does anyone have experience with in a dry environment? If so, what metals performed the best?
Need to be able to fabric with 16" pipe and weld the materiial.
We are not familiar with the Dow report. Is it concerning plastics?
