Are Strong Acids Destroying Your Equipment?
ELIMINATE CORROSION

Acid Resistant Static Mixers

Acid resistant static mixers utilizing Ultramet CPT’s tantalum diffusion surface, provides the unmatched corrosion resistance of tantalum metal and the simplicity of a static mixer. As strong hot acids like sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) become even more corrosive when accelerated and turbulence is formed, these extremely corrosion resistant static mixers are ideal for the most acidic environments, far surpassing the performance of nickel alloys.

Static Mixers For Strong Hot Acids

Acid resistant static mixers are ideal when mixing strong acids or diluting concentrated sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄). These corrosion resistant static mixers are often used for laminar, transitional and turbulent flow applications. Additionally these acid resistant static mixers also require no moving parts and could be easily cleaned.

Acid Resistant Rupture Discs

Acid resistant rupture discs and acid resistant rupture disc holders are critical to the safety of a process, as they prevent explosions from unintended surges in pressure. Eliminating corrosion on these rupture discs and their holders allows them to perform as intended without premature releases and accurate burst pressures. Because of our ISO9001 processing, decades of CVD experience and robust quality systems Ultramet CPT provides unmatched quality, reproducibility and reliability. The end-result is the most acid resistant rupture disc and rupture disc holders available. .

Acid Resistant Rupture Disc Holders

The Ultramet CPT tantalum diffusion surface eliminates corrosion on the holders and provides the best seal for rupture discs. Sealing of the rupture disc to the holder surface is critical to ensure its performance. Often this seal is degraded by strong acids and corrosion which leads to failure of this safety device. Ultramet CPT’s tantalum diffusion surface eliminates this failure mode.

Additionally when compared to tantalum loose linings, because Ultramet CPT’s tantalum metal is diffused and grown into the surface there are no gaps, weldings or potential for air pockets. This provides a superior sealing surface.

Acid Resistant Rupture Discs

Solid tantalum rupture discs are used to highly corrosive applications to prevent in the degradation of this safety device and premature failure. The problem with solid tantalum is its strength and its inconsistent thickness variation which makes it hard to control low pressure and high pressure applications. With Ultramet CPT’s tantalum diffusion technology a thin layer of tantalum metal is grown into a very consistent and reproducible disc of stainless steel. The result is an acid resistant rupture disc that can operate more consistently and span a large range of pressure demands.

Acid Resistant Tube Fittings

Acid resistant tube fittings are required to handle strong hot acids like sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) and Ultramet CPT’s acid resistant Swagelok^® tube fittings do just that.  These acid resistant tube fittings are designed to eliminate corrosion in harsh acid environments. Utilizing standard stainless steel Swagelok^® tube fitting and applying Ultramet CPT’s tantalum diffusion surface to them, a product is created that has a corrosion resistant that far surpasses that of nickel alloys while at a comparable price to them. Also because standard stainless steel fittings are used the availability and lead-times are excellent.

Ultramet CPT offers fitting from 1/8” in size and up with NPT, compression and sanitary ends.
