Chemical Compatibility Reference
Chemical Compatibility Reference
(OP)
Good afternoon all.
I am looking for a good reference book on chemical compatibility of different substances. Over the past couple of years I've had to look at material of construction for anything from o-rings to internal pump parts to reaction vessels to piping.
I have a couple of packets from different seal manufacturers which are pretty useful, but they do not always agree on the recommendations of what is excellent vs poor to use.
Can anyone recommend a really good reference book that covers metals and elastomers? Searching Google and Amazon.com has returned a few results, but I would greatly appreciate if anyone has a particular favorite they would recommend.
Thankyou all.

RE: Chemical Compatibility Reference
You must check several and compare them against one another. Always.
NACE is good for metals- a section of the NACE report graphs are reproduced in Perry's Handbook.
For the elastomers, the manufacturers of particular elastomers have pretty good data.

It has been my experience that the best source of information about chemicals has been the manufacturers. Many publish guidelines/books on recommended pumping storage, valves etc.
MSDS sheets contain some limited information....but I have not found them to be very useful.

The link Sshep does look to be an excellent resource though.
I'm in the process of looking up Cole Palmer now.
Thankyou all again!

Each chapter is rather expensive but beleive me it covers every material and its chararteristics with certain chemicals.
