Suitable Services
Deepwater subsea valves — seawater injection and well-testing at high chloride, high pressure
Offshore produced water re-injection (PWRI) valves — H₂S + CO₂ + chloride environments
FGD (flue gas desulphurisation) slurry recirculation valves — high-Cl sulfate solution
Pulp bleaching plant valves — chlorine dioxide, high chloride, oxidising conditions
Not Suitable For
High-temperature service above +300°C — 475°C embrittlement phase occurs
Strongly reducing mineral acid service — Hastelloy C-276 preferred for HCl, HF
Very low temperature below −46°C — austenitic or nickel alloy preferred
Valve Body Applications
Subsea Christmas tree (X-mas tree) valve bodies — deepwater injection service
High-chloride brine valve bodies — seawater injection, produced water re-injection (PWRI)
FGD (flue gas desulphurisation) valve bodies — wet scrubbing, CaSO₄ slurry
Offshore chemical injection pump discharge valves — highest corrosion resistance
Trim Applications
Seat rings and trim for offshore seawater and subsea ball valves
Stems and packing glands for high-chloride offshore service
