Depending on the cleaning method (medium concentration, temperature and
contact times), the seals are affected to different degrees. This can impair the

Passivation
Before commissioning a plant, passivation is commonly carried out for long pipes
and tanks.
Valve blocks are usually excepted from this. Passivation is typically performed
using nitric acid (HNO
3
) at approx. 80 °C (176 °F) at a concentration of 3 % and a
contact time of 6 to 8 hours.
