MATERIAL SELECTION GUIDE

We, TAF., hereby reproduce the following summary of corrosion resistance of

various special materials. It must be understood that these data are shown to serve only as a general suggestion and not as a guarantee. Final selection must be based on actual evaluation of the metal in the corrosive medium under study.

A - Fully Resistant. B - Slightly Attacked C - Unsatisfactory

v - Subject to pitting at air line or when allowed to dry - May attack when sulfuric acid is present.
