Material grades & metallurgy

Excellent2 fluids
Hydrofluoric Acid (HF)Industry standard for HF alkylation service. Resists anhydrous and aqueous HF.
Oxygen (O₂ - Industrial and Medical Grade)Excellent oxygen compatibility - used for high-pressure GOX service.
Good3 fluids
Caustic Soda (NaOH)Good for hot caustic service - preferred where Nickel 200 is cost-prohibitive.
Chlorine (Cl₂)Good for dry chlorine; not for wet.
Crude OilFor high H₂S content.
