This material stands up to high-temperature steam, sour gas and hydrogen sulfide, and strong bases. Published continuous service range is -25°F (-31.7°C) to 450°F (232.2°C). Applications involving low-temperature dynamic service or aromatic hydrocarbons call for a different compound.

You will find this material specified across chemical processing, geothermal equipment, and oil and gas production.

Order part number A80168, sold individually. Unit weight is approximately 5.0745 g and nominal inside diameter is listed as 7 1/4 inch. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application.
