Netafim's own ALD70 diaphragm chemical-resistance chart rates sulfuric acid to only 38°C max — notably more restrictive than the skid body materials. Confirm operating temperature against the diaphragm rating specifically on any sulfuric-acid heap-leach quote, since the diaphragm elastomer can be the limiting material even when PP/SST316 handles the chemical fine at higher temperatures.
Heap-leach skids run two fundamentally different chemistries through the same footprint — sulfuric acid for copper, cyanide for gold/silver — and the dual-chemistry rating on the Leaching Control Skid (110°F raffinate, 100°F barren cyanide) only holds because every wetted material is matched to both. Missing the diaphragm's lower temperature ceiling on a copper job is exactly the kind of gap 30+ years of spec discipline is built to catch.
