Governing Standards for Acetic Acid (CH₃COOH) Service
What to Avoid in Acetic Acid (CH₃COOH) Service
- Carbon steel valves - severely corroded
- Bronze/brass - attacked by acetic acid
- SS 316 for hot concentrated service without corrosion allowance review
Service Considerations
- PTA oxidation service: air + acetic acid + xylene at 180–220°C is extremely aggressive - Hastelloy or titanium mandatory
- PTFE-lined valves acceptable for lower-temperature dilute acetic acid circuits
- Fire-safe valve design required in ATEX Zone 1 PTA production areas
