Media Guides
Twelve media buyers actually search for — the properties that drive the choice, the materials that carry it, and the boundaries. The full 40-medium library lives in the selector.
A materials-and-temperature duty before anything else.
A certification requirement, not an alloy upgrade.
Abrasion governs — the ceiling is the wear mechanism, not the metal's thermal limit.
Chloride pitting is the governing risk — 316L is marginal.
Concentrated acid passivates carbon steel — with strict conditions attached.
One of the hardest common media — most metals lose.
An oxidising acid — the passivation rules invert.
Caustic embrittlement, not corrosion rate, is the binding constraint.
Oxidiser and chloride carrier at once — lined valves are the workhorse.
Easy when clean and sweet — the sulphur content changes the document.
Benign to most metals — the seal material is the real question.
An oxidiser that passivates the right stainless and attacks the wrong one.
