The Wet, Corrosive Duty

Constant moisture, chemicals and biofilm attack the metal, so alloy choice leads, with data in our Corrosion Resistance Guide and the water context in our Desalination and Water Treatment Guide.

Tanks and Screens

Stainless and duplex resist the mixed flows, detailed in our Duplex Stainless Supplier ve Stainless Steel Supplier; corrosion care is in our Corrosion Protection Guide.

Pipes and Welding

Pipe runs use duplex or lined carbon steel, with joining in our Welding Joining Guide and routing in our Piping and Pipeline Guide; galvanized options are in our Galvanized Steel Supplier range.

Standards and Sourcing

Water grades follow ASTM and EN rules, with checks in our Standards Comparison Guide; certification is in our Mill Test Certificate Guide and packing in our Export Packing Guide.
