Jet Fuels
(OP)
Hi,
I would like to know if Reinforced PTFE is compatible with JP-8 and JP-10 jet fuel as well as Diesel Fuel? I am trying to find a fire safe ball valve in a 1" pipe size and the seats only seem to be in R-PTFE which does not seem to be compatible with JP-8. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Gabriel

RE: Jet Fuels
You can check chemical compatibility with jet fuels at the link below as preliminary approach and then go deeper with your supplier.

Take a glance at page 160 (C-2)

It appears PTFE has a good compatibility with jet fuels, so btrueblood seemed to be on the right track.

Now I need to find which metals are OK with JP-8/JP-10. Stainless is OK for sure but my main concern is Bronze.
