Install / Failure Note

Richter rates the BC/CV for vapors and gases, not just liquids — worth checking on any acid service where off-gassing is possible, since a liquid-only check valve is the wrong spec even when the pressure class looks fine on paper.

The same 8-chemical list — sulfuric, nitric, hydrochloric, phosphoric acid among them — appears on 6 of Crane's 8 lined-valve products, meaning it's one shared reference table reused across the family rather than 6 independently tested results; real data, worth confirming the specific concentration and temperature with the vendor rather than treating it as per-product testing.

Every material and product claim on this page traces to real, vendor-published documentation on file with LibertyCES. Chemical compatibility depends on exact concentration, temperature, and duty cycle — confirm current specifications with the manufacturer and request a spec review before final specification.
