Designed for use in corrosive enviroments
Metallic parts meet NACE* Standard MR-01-75
Applications include marine enviroments,
oil and gas production, chemical and food
processing, medical analysis
Model for precision regulation and high flow
* National Association of Corrosion Engineers – recognised oil-field recommendation for
resistance to sulphide stress cracking common in well-head and other corrosive environments
