Material Ratings and Definitions

INTRODUCTION This chemical resistance guide has been compiled to assist the piping system designer in selecting chemical resistant materials. The information given is intended as a guide only. Many conditions can affect the material choices. Careful consideration must be given to temperature, pressure and chemical concentrations before a final material can be selected. Thermoplastics’ and elastomers’ physical characteristics are more sensitive to temperature than metals. For this reason, a rating chart has been developed for each.

Temperature maximums for thermoplastics, elastomers and metals should always fall within published temp/pressure ratings for individual valves. THERMOPLASTICS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR COMPRESSED AIR OR GAS SERVICE. This guide considers the resistance of the total valve as sembly as well as the resistance of individual trim and fitting materials. The rating assigned to the valve body plus trim combinations is always that of the least resistant part. In the cases where the valve body is the least resistant, there may be conditions under which the rate of corrosion is slow enough and the mass of the body large enough to be usable for a period of time. Such use should always be determined by test before installation of the component in a piping system. In the selection of a butterfly valve for use with a particular chemical, the liner, disc, and stem must be resistant. All three materials should carry a rating of “A.” The body of a properly functioning butterfly valve is isolated from the chemicals being handled and need not carry the same rating.

THERMOPLASTICS & ELASTOMERS  ABS — Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Class 4-2-2 conforming to ASTM D1788 is a time-proven material. The smooth inner surface and superior resistance to deposit formation makes ABS drain, waste, and vent material ideal for residential and commercial sanitary systems. The residential DWV system can be exposed in service to a wide temperature span. ABS-DWV has proven satisfactory for use from -40 F to 180 F. These temperature variations can occur due to ambient temperature or the discharge of hot liquids °

°

into the system. ABS-DWV is very resistant to a wide variety of materials ranging from sewage to commercial household chemical formulations. ABS-DWV is joined by solvent cementing or threading and can easily be connected to steel, copper, or cast iron through the use of transition fittings. CPVC — Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride Class 23447-B, formerly designated Type IV, Grade 1 conforming to ASTM D-1784, has physical properties at 73 F similar to those of PVC, and its chemical resistance is similar to or generally better than that of PVC. CPVC, with a design stress of 2000 psi and maximum service temperature of 210 F, has proven to be an excellent material for hot corrosive liquids, hot or cold water distribution, and similar applications above the temperature range of PVC. CPVC is joined by solvent cementing, threading or flanging. °

°

PP (Polypropylene) — Type 1 Polypropylene is a polyolefin, which is lightweight and generally high in chemical resistance.  Although Type 1 polypropylene conforming to ASTM D-2146 is slightly lower in physical properties compared to PVC, it is chemically resistant to organic solvents as well as acids and alkalies. Generally, polypropylene should not be used in contact with strong oxidizing acids, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and aromatics. With a design stress of 1000 psi at 73 F, polypropylene has gained wide acceptance where its resistance to sulfur-bearing compounds is particularly useful in salt water disposal lines, crude oil piping, and low pressure gas gathering systems. Polypropylene has also proved to be an excellent material for laboratory and industrial drainage where mixtures of acids, bases, and solvents are involved. Polypropylene is joined by the thermo-seal fusion process, threading or flanging. At 180 F, or when threaded, threa ded, PP should sho uld be used for drainage only at a pressure not exceeding 20 psi. °

°

PVC — Polyvinyl Chloride Class 12454-B, formerly designated Type 1, Grade 1. PVC is the most frequently specified of all thermoplastic materials. It has been used successfully for over 30 years in such areas as chemical processing, industrial plating, chilled water distribution, deionized water lines, chemical drainage, and irrigation systems. PVC is characterized by high physical phys ical properproperties and resistance to corrosion and chemical attack by acids, alkalies, salt solutions, and many other chemicals. It is attacked, however, by polar solvents such as ketones, some chlorinated hydrocarbons and aromatics. The maximum service temperature of PVC is 140 F. With a design stress of 2000 psi, PVC has the highest long-term hydrostatic strength at 73 F of any of the major thermoplastics being used for piping systems. PVC is joined by solvent cementing, threading, or flanging. °

°

PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) — KEM-TEMP (KYNAR®  ) is a strong, tough and abrasion-resistant fluorocarbon material. It resists distortion and retains most of its strength to 280 F. It is i s chemically resistant to most acids, bases, and organic solvents and is ideally suited for handling wet or dry chlorine, bromine and other halogens. No other solid thermoplastic piping components can approach the combination of strength, chemical resistance and working temperatures of PVDF PVDF.. PVDF is joined by the thermoseal fusion process, threading or flanging. °

EPDM — EPDM is a terpolymer elastomer made from ethylenepropylene diene monomer. monomer. EPDM has good abrasion and tear resistance and offers excellent chemical resistance to a variety of acids and alkalines. It is susceptible to attack by oils and is not recommended for applications involving petroleum oils, strong

Material Definitions acids, or strong alkalines. It has exceptionally good weather aging and ozone resistance. It is fairly good with ketones and alcohols and has an excellent temperature range from -20 F to 250 F. °

°

®

HYPALON (CSM) — Hypalon has very good resistance to oxidation, ozone, and good flame resistance. It is similar to neoprene except with improved acid resistance where it will resist such oxidizing acids as nitric, hydrofluoric, and s ulfuric acid. Abrasion resistance of Hypalon is excellent, about the equivalent of nitriles. Oil and solvent resistance is somewhat between that of neoprene and nitrile. Salts have little if any effect on Hypalon. Hypalon is not recommended for exposure to concentrated oxidizing acids, esters, ketones, chlorinated, aromatic and nitro hydrocarbons. Hypalon has a normal temperature range of -20 F to 200 F. °

°

NEOPRENE (CR ) — Neoprenes were one of the first synthetic rubbers developed. Neoprene is an all-purpose polymer with many desirable characteristics and features high resiliency with low compression set, flame resistance, and is animal and vegetable oil resistant. Neoprene is principally recommended for food and beverage service. Generally, neoprene is not affected by moderate chemicals, fats, greases, and many oils and solvents. Neoprene is attacked by strong oxidizing acids, most chlorinated solvents, esters, ketones, aromatic hydrocarbons, and hydraulic fluids. Neoprene has a moderate temperature range of -20 F to 160 F. °

°

NITRILE (NBR) — (BUNA-N) is a general purpose oil-resistant polymer known as nitrile rubber. Nitrile is a copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile and has a moderate temperature range of -20 F to 180 F. Nitrile has good solvent, oil, water, and hydraulic fluid resistance. It displays good compression s et, abrasion resistance and tensile strength. Nitrile should not be used in highly polar solvents such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone, nor shou ld it be used in chlorinated hydrocarbons, ozone or nitro hydrocarbons. °

°

FLUOROCARBON (FKM) (VITON ® ) (FLUOREL® ) — Fluorocarbon elastomers are inherently compatible with a broad spectrum of chemicals. Because of this extensive chemical compatibility, which spans considerable concentration and temperature ranges, fluorocarbon elastomers have gained wide acceptance as a material of construction for butterfly valve o-rings and seats. Fluorocarbon elastomers can be used in most applications involving mineral acids, salt solutions, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and petroleum oils. They are particularly good in hydrocarbon service. Fluorocarbon elastomers have one of the broadest temperature ranges of any of the elastomers, -20 F to 300 F; however, they are not suited for steam service. °

°

TEFLON® (PTFE) — Polytetrafluoroethylene has outstanding resistance to chemical attack by most chemicals and solvents. PTFE has a temperature rating of -20 F to 400 F in valve applications. PTFE, a self lubricating compound, is used as a seat material in ball valves. °

°

PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) — PEEK is a high-performance engineered thermoplastic which can be used above the useful range of PTFE. PEEK has physical characteristics approaching some metals (approximately 30K tensile) and has excellent resistance to a wide range of organic and inorganic chemicals. PEEK can be used up to 550 F and is an excellent choice for heat transfer fluids, steam and hydrocarbon services. °

GRAPHITE — Graphite is the packing and seal material of choice for most fire-rated products, primarily because of its high temperature rating of approximately 2000 F. Graphite has excellent chemical resistance, can retain compressibility at all temperatures °

METALS USED IN VALVES & FITTINGS  ALUMINUM — A non-ferrous metal, very lightweight, approximately one-third as much as steel. Aluminum exhibits excellent atmospheric corrosion resistance, but can be very reactive with other metals. In valves, aluminum is mainly used as an exterior trim component such as a handwheel or an identification tag. COPPER — Among the most important properties of wrot copper materials are their thermal and electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and ductility. Wrot copper performs well in high temperature applications and is easily joined by soldering or brazing. Wrot copper is exclusively used for fittings. BRONZE — One of the first alloys developed in the bronze age is generally accepted as the industry standard for pressure-rated bronze valves and fittings. Bronze has a higher strength than pure copper, is easily cast, has improved machinability, and is very easily  joined by soldering or brazing. Bronze is very resistant to pitting corrosion, with general resistance to most chemicals less than that of pure copper. SILICONE BRONZE — Has the ductility of copper but much more strength. The corrosion resistance of silicon bronze is equal to or greater than that of copper. Commonly used as stem material in pressure-rated valves, silicon bronze has greater resistance to stress corrosion cracking than common brasses.  ALUMINUM BRONZE — The most widely accepted disc material used in butterfly valves, aluminum bronze is heat treatable and has the strength of steel. Formation of an aluminum oxide layer on exposed surfaces makes this metal very corrosion resistant. Not recommended for high pH wet systems. BRASS — Generally good corrosion resistance. Susceptible to de-zincification in specific applications; excellent machinability. Primary uses for wrot brass are for ball valve stems and balls, and iron valve stems. A forging grade of brass is used in ball valve bodies and end pieces. GRAY IRON — An alloy of iron, carbon and silicon; easily cast; good pressure tightness in the as-cast condition. Gray iron has excellent dampening properties and is easily machined. It is standard material for bodies and bonnets of Class 125 and 250 iron body valves. Gray iron has corrosion resistance that is better than steel in certain environments. DUCTILE IRON — Has composition similar to gray iron. Special treatment modifies metallurgical structure, which yields higher mechanical properties; some grades are heat-treated to improve ductility. Ductile iron has the strength properties of steel using similar casting techniques to that of gray iron. CARBON STEEL —  Very good mechanical properties; good resistance to stress corrosion and sulfides. Carbon steel has high and low temperature strength, is very tough and has excellent fatigue strength. Mainly used in gate, globe, and check valves for applications up to 850 F, and in one-, two-, and three-piece ball valves. °

Material Definitions and Standards 3% NICKEL IRON — Improved corrosion resistance over gray and ductile iron. Higher temperature corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. Very resistant to oxidizing atmospheres. NICKEL-PLATED DUCTILE IRON — Nickel coatings have received wide acceptance for use in chemical processing. These coatings have very high tensile strength, 50 to 225 ksi. To some extent, the hardness of a material is indicative of its resistance to abrasion and wear characteristics. Nickel plating is widely specified as a disc coating for butterfly valves. 400 SERIES STAINLESS STEEL — An alloy of iron, carbon, and chromium. This stainless is normally magnetic due to its martensitic structure and iron content. 400 series stainless steel is resistant to high temperature oxidation and has improved physical and mechanical properties over carbon steel. Most 400 series stainless steels are heat-treatable. The most common applications in valves are for stem material in butterfly valves and backseat bushings and wedges in cast steel valves. 316 STAINLESS STEEL — An alloy of iron, carbon, nickel, and chromium. A nonmagnetic stainless steel with more ductility than 400SS. Austinetic in structure, 316 stainless steel has very good corrosion resistance to a wide range of environments, is not susceptible to stress corrosion cracking and is not affected by heat treatment. Most common uses in valves are stem, body and ball materials. 17-4 PH STAINLESS STEEL® — Is a martensitic precipitation/  age hardening stainless steel, offering high strength and hardness. 17-4 PH withstands corrosive attack better than any of the 400 series stainless steels, and in most conditions its corrosion resistance closely approaches that of 300 series stainless steel. 17-4 PH is primarily used as a stem material for butterfly and ball valves.

 ALLOY 20Cb-3 ® — This alloy has higher amounts of nickel and chromium than 300 series stainless steel and with the addition of columbium, this alloy retards stress corrosion cracking and has improved resistance to sulfuric acid. Alloy 20 finds wide use in all phases of chemical processing. Commonly used as interior trim on butterfly valves. MONEL® — Is a nickel-copper alloy used primarily as interior trim on butterfly and ball valves. One of the most specified materials for corrosion resistance to sea and salt water. Monel is also very resistant to strong caustic solutions. STELLITE® — Cobalt base alloy, one of the best all-purpose hard facing alloys. Very resistant to heat, abrasion, corrosion, impact, galling, oxidation, thermal shock and erosion. Stellite takes a high polish and is used in steel valve seat rings. Normally applied with transfer plasma-arc; Stellite hardness is not affected by heat treatment. HASTELLOY C® — A high nickel-chromium molybdenum alloy, which has outstanding resistance to a wide variety of chemical process environments, including strong oxidizers such as wet chlorine, chlorine gas, and ferric chloride. Hastelloy C is also resistant to nitric, hydrochloric, and sulfuric acids at moderate temperatures. 17-4 PH STAINLESS STEEL is a registered trademark of Armco Steel Company STELLITE is a registered trademark of the Cabott Company  ALLOY 20Cb-3 is a registered trademark of Carpenter Technology HASTELLOY C is a registered trademark of Haynes International MONEL is a registered trademark of International Nickel
