Today, we are offering you a solution for pumping a strong acid. This acid is nitric acid. It is a clear, light yellow, liquid chemical compound that is highly corrosive and harmful to human health.
That’s why we are going to show you a process for pumping nitric acid using one of our products.
It is often used in the following applications:
- Metal working
- Coloring agents
- Electroplating
- Oxidizing agents
- Fertilizer…
