Material of 98 industrial sulfuric acid storage tank
Thread Content
Can fiberglass tanks be used for 98% industrial concentrated sulfuric acid? If possible, which type of fiberglass should be used?
98% refined sulfuric acid: The reactors used for producing sulfuric acid that we supply are all lined with ETFE (F40) material.
Standard material selection for 98% concentrated sulfuric acid storage tanks in industry: ordinary carbon steel, including valves and pipes.
Under no circumstances use fiberglass; it cannot withstand high-concentration sulfuric acid. For acids like 98% sulfuric acid, ordinary carbon steel is sufficient – no lining is needed
It ensures a concentration of 98%, and carbon steel is completely suitable for use at room temperature.
For a Carnie tank, to ensure safety and cost-effectiveness, it is advisable to use 8mm carbon steel with an inner lining made of 18mm polyethylene, formed as a single unit during manufacturing.
For 98% acid at room temperature, carbon steel is suitable; for temperatures above room temperature, 304, 304L, or 316L can be used, along with anodic protection
You also didn’t use a polyethylene plastic storage tank to hold the 98% sulfuric acid
I’m confused; the pinyin for ‘hit’ is incorrect. Sulfuric acid with a concentration of 98% can be stored in polyethylene plastic tanks
In the north, a steam heating coil needs to be installed on the outside of the sulfuric acid tanks made of carbon steel to prevent freezing in winter. May I ask: Does heating with steam accelerate the corrosion of carbon steel?
