Thank you EmmanuelTop.
The search does work.

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.

Do you have the MTI MS book on sulfuric?
It is about the most definitive source.
Gray CI is not a very good option. It is susceptible to cracking (oxidation of C flakes).
A ductile iron is a bit better. But they both suffer from velocity related effects.
In a pump you are better off with a high Si CI (14.5% F47003).

Often, what materials are selected is not based on the normal operating conditions or chemical components in the service fluid; its the off normal service conditions and contaminants that cause accelerated corrosion; such as lower acid concentration ( higher water content ); what off normal contaminants do you expect ?

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 process and characterisics may change.

You can buy it from NACE
