PRESSURIZED ALUMINUM PARTS HAZARD
Use of fluids that are incompatible with aluminum in pressurized equipment can cause serious chemical
reaction and equipment rupture. Failure to follow this warning can result in death, serious injury, or
property damage.
•
Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or flu-
ids containing such solvents.
•
Do not use chlorine bleach.
•
Many other fluids may contain chemicals that can react with aluminum. Contact your material supplier
for compatibility.
THERMAL EXPANSION HAZARD
Fluids subjected to heat in confined spaces, including hoses, can create a rapid rise in pressure due to
the thermal expansion. Over-pressurization can result in equipment rupture and serious injury.
•
Open a valve to relieve the fluid expansion during heating.
•
Replace hoses proactively at regular intervals based on your operating conditions.
