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
