Sulfuric acid service
PVDF is rated Excellent for sulfuric acid from 1% to 93% in our compatibility database. Here is how this tank fits your acid.
| Concentration | PVDF rating |
|---|---|
| 1% – 10% | Excellent |
| 10% – 75% | Excellent |
| 75% – 93% | Excellent |
| Above 93% | Contact us |
Full of 96–98% sulfuric acid, this tank would hold about 15,000 lb of acid (about 15 lb per gallon). It is rated 1.9 SG, above the roughly 1.84 specific gravity of concentrated acid.
This is a double wall tank. The sealed outer wall captures a leak from the inner tank and keeps acid fumes contained. Add an interstitial leak detector for an alarm and PLC signal.
Up to 75% acid, PVC, CPVC and polypropylene fittings are rated Excellent; above 75%, specify PVDF fittings. Seal bulkheads with Viton® gaskets. No welded flanges in the sidewall for sulfuric acid. See fittings.
Pure sulfuric acid is solid below 51 °F, so concentrated acid stored outdoors may need an insulated tank and heat tracing.
Before you order
Gaskets, fittings and metal hardware all have to handle your concentration, not just the tank.
