115 Questions regarding sulfuric acid transportation
Thread Content
Can a magnetic pump be used for the 115 sulfuric acid transfer pump? Is polypropylene acceptable as the material for the pipes?
Is 115 the density? Magnetic pump is the driving method; materials resistant to corrosion should be sufficient for use with sulfuric acid. Short-distance transportation of polypropylene should be no problem; the risk lies in the fact that plastic pipes are not as strong as metal ones. If issues such as poor welding, aging, or overpressure occur and lead to splashing, it can cause serious problems
Magnetic pumps work fine, but the pipes made of polypropylene might not be able to handle it! There is a risk
Uh-huh, thank you； The concentration of 115 fuming sulfuric acid is 66% for the sulfur trioxide concentration.
Thank you! There is indeed a risk. Could you tell me whether the risk stems from the material or from the quality of construction?
Affected by the temperature of the medium, it can resist corrosion from acids, alkalis, salts, and various organic solvents at temperatures below 80°C; however, it decomposes under high temperatures and in the presence of oxidation.
Thank you, I see. It’s mainly the temperature that has an impact; that makes perfect sense!
