STEAM, ABOVE 500°F Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Steam at temperatures above 500°F is commonly referred to as high-pressure steam and is used in various industrial and chemical applications for power generation, heating, and sterilization. It is produced by heating water to a temperature above its boiling point, causing it to evaporate and form steam. High-pressure steam is widely used in power plants to drive turbines and generate electricity, in industrial processes for heating and sterilization, and in the chemical industry for various reactions. Proper handling and control of high-pressure steam are essential to prevent accidents and ensure safety, as it can cause burns, scalds, and explosions if not properly managed. Safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are crucial when working with high-pressure steam. Its versatility and effectiveness in providing heat and power make high-pressure steam a valuable resource in various industrial and chemical applications, although its use requires careful control to prevent hazards.
