be minimized. In addition, the medium concentrated acid, which is very corrosive, will be present during the shortest possible period. Final cleaning with fresh water is essential. Rem. 16 : Phosphoric acid ‘The produet can be carried in most eases. However, knowledge about the Product spacification is a prerequisite for safe judging, as the contaminations normally present in technical wet-process phosphoric acid determine the its corrosivity. The data given below will aid when judging the risk of corrosion but must not taken as a guarantee. In technical, wet-process phosphoric acid containing the common impurities in concentration of the usual range, Type 316L stinless steel will exhibit full resistance if, Cone. POs is 48~54% Cone. SO," is max. 4% Cone. Chlorides is max. 200ppm ‘Temperature is max. 45°C and {Fe,03}+0.8({AL05}+(MgO})((F})=2 provided {Fe,03}1.5 where { _ } denotes concentration in weight percent. Ifone or more of these limites are exceeded, this dose not mean that acid is too corrosive but that caution has to be shown. Rem. 17 : Heating required to keep the product in true solution, Rem. 18 : The product can be carried but may hydrolyze in the presence of water. ‘Rem, 19 : The product may contain corrosive impurities Le. chrorides and acid residues, but can usually be carried. Rem. 20 : The product can be carried but special requirements must be considered ‘concerning carriage and tank cleaning. ‘Rem. 21 : Max. product temperature 50°C. at max. 85% concentration. Rem, 22 : Max. product temperature 70°C. ‘Rem. 23 : The product can generally be carried but with restrictions on concentrations and shipping temperature. Carried under inert gas blanket. Rem. 24 : The product has to be carried under inert gas blanket and special requirements must be considered for tank cleaning.
