Abstract

Design and development of the equipment for storing and handling red fuming nitric acid should take into consideration the special properties of the acid, particularly its high corrosive nature. The accuracy of the dosing system for such a highly fuming liquid depends upon the proper selection of pump and flow-meter. The properties of the acid and the corrosion resistance of various stainless steels are briefly discussed.
