How to remove the Ferro oxide (Fe2O3) deposit inside the piping ??
(OP)
Hi everyone,
The piping of our heat exchanger in 316 SS (1") was blocking by the deposit of Fe2O3 (solid) inside the pipe. Does any expert can suggest me a product to remove by dissolve the Ferro oxide (Fe2O3) and clean up the heat exchanger.
Thanks

HCl will work quite well, but you should use an inhibitor. As Fe2O3 dissolves in HCl, the solution becomes more corrosive towards the metal.
