    Bypass valve configuration

    I received request from a plant , for 2 bypass valves on bolted bonnet class 600 gate valve. (12inch) I am used to have bypass line (and valve) for equalizing down and up stream pressure but is 2nd line necessary for bolted bonnet valve? I believe this is a typical solution for pressure seal...

    Material Selection for Sulfuric acid

    Thanks for input. @EdStainless : I dont have this book and I guess it is not sold anymore. I could not also find it on web. @georgeverghese : IT will be a new line so we have only these data. Overall, I believe standart iron would be risky considering in such plants it is not easy to control...

    Material Selection for Sulfuric acid

    I know how to use search thanks. I was in some of these discussions. However each application has different characteristics. I searched a lot for cold %98 acid but could not find solid proof - different sources contradict with each other. Thats why open the thread.

    Material Selection for Sulfuric acid

    Hi there, a pump vendor proposing cast iron pump for sulfuric acid. (%98 at 40 deg. C ( 104 F) gjl-200 = grey cast iron I could not find any solid literature defending this. Only high-silicon cast irons looks suitable. Could I have your input?

    Sulfuric Acid Material

    Thanks to all input. This is regarding valve material selection. I searched many literature and websites and have a great database. Mostly it looks like Alloy20 would be fine. Pls. check the best doc I could find from carpenter. However I do agree the concern for higher and lower figures of %...

    Sulfuric Acid Material

    For %80 sulfuric acid application, temperature is around at max 43 deg. C , which material do you recommend? I am stuck between Alloy 20 and Hastelloy C series. Pressure : 1 bar , no impurities.

    Casting C12A

    I am trying to prepare a paper based on C12A material use by valves. Experienced ones can advice why casting this material is more tricky than others. Or is i due to only high temperature use of this material?

    CV Sizing - Advice required

    Thanks. I know these sources. However pdf does not help me sizing the valve. Each software is made acc. to vendors parameters thus someone else' software wont help me either. My question is more conceptual. About making an approach. Beside product is capable of controlling - but to be...

    Advice required (904l)

    thanks for input. It is phosphoric acid plant , process water. temp is max 50 deg. C but content of p.w. is not given. I was trying to judge depending on corrosion rates of 904L Check valves were required with 904L but hard to supply.

    Advice required (904l)

    For acidic applications, 904L is required but it is hard to source. What can be the alternative material considering corrossion resistance? Thanks in advance for comments.

    Material Cost Comparison

    Thanks to you all, I appreciate all input. I am totally aware of the parameters that can affect the comparison in time however I am just looking to receive comments from different parts to prepare a guide for myself. However no one wanted to give figures.

    what is a procedure for getting a GEST 06/318(EURO CHLOR) VALVE CERTIFICATE. ?

    I believe it starts with having a design in compliance with Euro Chlor recommendations which has very strict regulations for casting quality, design, etc.
