Material Selection Guide (A - B)

The ratings furnished in this listing have been developed from information furnished by manufacturers of the raw materials, technical publications and industry applications. This information may be considered as a basis for evaluation, but not as a guarantee.

Consideration must also be given to fluid velocity, abrasion, and the effects of combining fluids. Materials should be tested under actual service to determine suitability for a particular application. Data supplied is for fluids at ambient temperatures except as noted.
