The recommended alloy for sea water is a cupper alloys Acc. ASTM B763 and specially C94800 (leaded nicket-tin bronze grade-B".

I have used Xylan coating of stud bolts . I found that the Xylan coating is extremely soft and easily damaged.

Thus my choice for seawater applications is SAF 2507 or aluminium bronze for disc and shaft, fully vulcanised rubber lined ductile iron bodied valve. If using SAF pipework I use a butt weld ended plug valve such as MTS (Spain). It saves on the SAF flanges.

This is going into the Sydeny Desalination plant.
