Passivation
Before a system with long pipes and tanks is commissioned, it usually needs to be pas-
sivated.
Valve blocks are usually excepted from this.
Passivation is usually carried out with nitric acid (HNO
3
) at about 80 °C (176 °F) in a
concentration of 3 % and a contact time of 6 to 8 hours.
