Upgrade the Material Specification: Do not procure standard hot-dip galvanized (HDG) tray for ammonia zones. Instead, specify: - Heavy-Duty Galvanizing: Require a thicker zinc coating (e., G235 per ASTM A123) for increased sacrificial mass. Is the steel galvanized before welding, or after the tray is fully fabricated? Through years of technical discussions with contractors, consultants, and procurement teams, we have found that this distinction is frequently misunderstood—even by newcomers to the industry. Yet it directly affects.
