Stainless steel 1,4571/316TI(S) up to 120C Suitable for high flammability liquids (up to temperatures of class T4) as well as for all neutral and non-flammable, thin liquids like solvents, organic acids, dilute inorganic acis and alkalis. Certified for use in Zone 0 *. Examples of suitable liquids: acetone, alcohol, ammonia, petrol, flammable solvents, nitrocellulose varnishes, perchlorethylene, trichlorethylene, toluene, potassic alkali, soda alkali , phosphoric acid (up to 60%), sulphuric acid (up to 7.5% and more than 96%), fruit juices, milk, salad oil and all liquids listed for aluminium alloy. |
* Zone 0 Areas in which a hazardous and explosive atmosphere of gases, vapours or fogs exists permanently or for a long time (definition according to the German regulation on flammable liquids VbF). Tested and certified according to Directive 94/9/EC-ATEX 100a for transferring high flammability liquids out of portable containers are the pumps type: F 424 S, F 425 S, F 426 S, F 430 S, F 430 HC. Bold and italic printing of liquids indicates that the standard 'O'-ring fitted FPM (e.g. Viton) is not sufficiently resistant to this liquid. (Please consider when selecting the pump design.) P.S. Due to the enormous variety and complexity of industrial chemicals, together with the range and variation of FLUX products, we can only list some of all the suitable liquids, but a detailed Resistance Chart is available. | |
| Hastelloy C (HC) up to 120C Specially designed for pumping alternatively high flammability and chemically aggressive liquids. Certified for use in Zone 0 *. Examples of suitable liquids: hydrofluoric acid, aqua regia, oleum, hydrochloric acid (up to 30%), sulphuric acid, various mixed acids and all liquids listed for aluminium alloy and stainless steal. |
