Specialized nitric acid pumps engineered with SS316L and exotic alloys for safe handling of concentrated nitric acid in chemical processing applications. Our ANSI/ASME B73.1 compliant pumps deliver superior corrosion resistance, handling nitric acid concentrations up to 95% with flow rates up to 1400 m³/hr and operating temperatures up to 350°C. Trusted by chemical manufacturers worldwide for critical nitric acid transfer and processing operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does nitric acid do to your lungs?

Nitric acid vapors are highly corrosive and can cause severe respiratory damage including chemical burns to lung tissue, pulmonary edema, and respiratory failure. Proper ventilation, safety equipment, and sealed pumping systems are essential when handling nitric acid to prevent exposure and protect worker safety.

Is 304 or 316 better for nitric acid?

SS316L is significantly better for nitric acid applications due to its molybdenum content providing superior corrosion resistance. SS304 can suffer from intergranular corrosion in nitric acid environments. Chemitek's nitric acid pumps utilize SS316L (CF3M) construction with investment casting for optimal performance and longevity.

What should you never mix nitric acid with?

Never mix nitric acid with organic compounds, alcohols, acetone, or hydrogen-producing materials as this can cause violent reactions, fires, or explosions. Separate pumping systems and dedicated transfer lines are essential. Our nitric acid pumps are designed with appropriate materials and sealing systems to prevent cross-contamination.

What material is used for nitric acid pumps?

Nitric acid pumps require materials like SS316L, Hastelloy-C, or high-grade PVDF depending on concentration and temperature. Chemitek offers both metallic pumps in SS316L/exotic alloys for high-temperature applications and non-metallic PVDF pumps for moderate temperature nitric acid handling with superior chemical resistance.

What are the safety considerations for nitric acid pump installation?

Nitric acid pump installations require proper ventilation systems, emergency shower stations, leak detection systems, and secondary containment. The pump should be positioned for easy access while maintaining safe distances from incompatible materials. Our application engineers provide comprehensive installation guidance for safe nitric acid handling systems.

How do I maintain a nitric acid pump for optimal performance?

Regular inspection of seals, monitoring for corrosion signs, ensuring proper flushing procedures, and maintaining appropriate operating parameters are crucial. Chemitek provides comprehensive maintenance protocols, genuine spare parts, and technical support to ensure safe and reliable nitric acid pump operation throughout its service life.
