CL2 gas and 316L
CL2 gas and 316L
(OP)
Is a valve made of 316L suitable for CL2 gas fluid?
If it is what is the maximmum temperature?
If it is not what other alloy will do the job?

A flexible hose made of st/st corroded, leading to a huge release of chlorine from a rail car. It should have been Hastalloy.

the issue is the small amount of wet Cl2 and occasionally ferric chloride that occurs in vaporized and liquid draw offs. they create havoc with the 316 ss.

Click on "Completed Investigations" and then
