Wet H₂S services or _________ acid services are process where hydrogen diffuses into the steel and hydrogen embrittlement (HE) is an issue.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wet H₂S services involve hydrogen diffusion into steel, which can lead to hydrogen embrittlement (HE). Hydrogen fluoride (HF) is well known for causing HE in steel and other metals. Therefore, option A is the best choice. Sulfuric acid services can also sometimes cause HE, but it is less common than with HF. Caustic and HCl services do not typically result in HE.
