Engineered Water Heating Solutions introducing
AquaPLEX is: ...the engineered brand for potable water heating defined by: • Lean duplex stainless steel alloy material • ASME section IV, IV part HLW, and VIII code certified products • Engineering design control of fabricated materials • Specialized metal cutting technology • State of the art welding technology • Immersion pickling and passivation processing
AquaPLEX is: • Lean Duplex stainless steel alloy Lean = high chromium, low nickel, other elements for enhanced corrosion resistance Duplex = Austenitic (300 series) and Ferritic (400 series) grain structures combined for strength and corrosion resistance to chloride stress cracking Material Content for commercial material and PVI AquaPLEX CMn CrNi Mo N Other • PVI ASME II A SA-240 0.04 6.0 21.5 1.5 0.5 0.23 Cu: 0.45 • Typical LDX 2101 0.03 5.0 21.5 1.5 0.3 0.22 Cu: 0.30 Grain structure
AquaPLEX is: • ASME section IV, IV part HLW and VIII code certification • Material certification • Design certification • Welding certification • Pressure vessel certification • Every pressure vessel is code stamped after fabrication
AquaPLEX is: • Engineering design control of fabricated materials • ASME construction requirements (calculated strength values) • Joint designs to prevent crevice corrosion formation • A crevice is defined as two adjoining materials with the attachment joint that is > 2x depth to width ratio crevice No crevice
AquaPLEX is: • Specialized cutting technology • Waterjet cutting with 3-axis (vertical) and 5-axis (beveled) cutting heads • 50,000 psi water and diamond dust with no residual heat signature
AquaPLEX is: • State of the art welding technology • Synergic twin pulse robotic welding practices robotic welding tip tig manual/auto feed welding
AquaPLEX is: • Full immersion pickling • 4-5% HF @ 105F @ 60 min • removal of heat tint • restores chromium depleted layer from welding processes • Restores 50/50 ratio material grain structure post-welding
AquaPLEX is: • Full immersion passivation • 20% HNO3 @ 105F @ 60 min • Restores chromium oxide layer on all metal surfaces • 2-3mm surface finish prevents development of corrosion from potable water • Water reactivates chromium oxide layer, keeps corrosion resistance properties intact
AquaPLEX is: • Lean duplex stainless steel alloy material • ASME section IV, IV part HLW, and VIII code certified products • Engineered joint design control of fabricated materials • Waterjet cutting via 3 and 5 axis heads with no heat signature • Synergic pulse and TipTigwelding technology • Immersion pickling and passivation processing • Compromise is not acceptable – no single point of failure allowed
AquaPLEX is: Not just material – it’s the design, fabrication and processing that makes an excellent choice of material better! • 10 year warranty including chloride stress cracking • Gas fired heat exchangers and tanks for all energy source storage water heaters Eliminate water heater corrosion in one easy spec…with AquaPLEX
