We have been hearing that Kynar does not hold up well to 93% sulfuric acid but is fine for lesser concentrations. Does anyone have any experience with using Kynar for Sulfuric Acid in such concentrations? Will the piping fall apart?
 
I tried using Kynar Pumps for 93% sulfuric acid and it was a disaster. As for piping i dont know but I would recomend you research this very carefully before installing any Kynar materials on your Acid piping/pumping system.
 
Most industrial users use plain carbon steel for commercial grade sulfuric acid, if that is what you are handling.
