1.	What Materials Can Be Used For Oxygen Service?
Answer» MONEL, bronze and AUSTENITIC stainless steel (e.g. 316) are the best materials for oxygen SERVICE in order of preference. The higher the velocity the better the material to be used. Velocities should not exceed 40 m/s in the VALVE body with Monel and bronze and should be less than 20 m/s with stainless steel.
