Fluid Compatibility Guide
The following pages list general recommendations for the selection of
valve materials. For specifc cases, and for those not included in the
Fluid Compatibility Chart, it is advisable to check with your Parker
representative.
There are many specifc environmental factors which might affect
corrosion rate such as temperature, solution, concentration and
presence of impurities. Therefore, we suggest that the information
be used as a rough guide to material selection. If any questions
exist regarding the expected performance of a material in a given
application, actual tests should be performed to determine the
suitability of the materials in question.
