    Corrosion rate vs concentration for hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic acids etc.

    Thank you. However, I still need the acid data for "emergencies" when you dont have these specialized products. Lucas

    Corrosion rate vs concentration for hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic acids etc.

    Hi, I am interested in the derusting of rusty automotive parts using "household" acids readily available everywhere. 1. I am interested in graphs/tables representing the corrosion rate (mm pr year or similar) vs acid concentration (%) of a) mild steel b) rust (all the oxidation stages)...

    Which VFD to avoid GFCI tripping?

That should give more room for electrical noise. We have these interrupter installed everywhere - not only...

    Which VFD to avoid GFCI tripping?

    Hi, I want to build an industrial sewing machine drive using a small VFD and a small AC motor. The AC motor will be a 4 pole 1400 rpm 0.25 kW induction motor and the VFD should be a 1ph 240V AC in and 3ph 240V AC out. There will also be a mechanical gearbox between the motor and the sewing...

    How do I store tires/tyres for a very long time???

    I have some new, unused tires which recently went out of production. Because they are so damn good I want to store them so that I can use them in future (assume I want to store them for 10-20 years). The problem with rubber seems to be the fact that the softening agent evaporates with time and...
