Message No. 9403, Started by smog on 06/29/02 Hydrochloric Acid & Metals To All, I attended and interview on 28/06 and from that time I am confused. The question asked to me was: If a 50 KL HCL Tank fails and all the material gets accumulated in dyke walled/ bund what will happen to the drain valves of the bund, if the material is not with drawn in 4 to 5 hrs. I replied: It the valves are of SS 316 L don't bother whether coated of not, nothing will happen to the valves. But the gentleman asking question replied that the valves will dissolve in HCl after 4 hrs. Is it true? Pl. help me. Smog
