From Condensed Handbook of Measurement and Control, 3rd Edition
Overview
The measurement and control engineer is constantly faced with the challenge of selecting the proper material in contact with the process. Table B-1 has been compiled from literature published by various material suppliers, equipment manufacturers, and reference publishers. It gives a general indication of how different fluids react when in contact with certain materials (metals and nonmetals) used in measurement and control.
