STEAM Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Steam is the gaseous phase of water, commonly used in industrial, chemical, and domestic applications for heating, power generation, and sterilization. It is produced by heating water to its boiling point, causing it to evaporate and form steam. Steam is widely used in power plants to drive turbines and generate electricity, in industrial processes for heating and sterilization, and in HVAC systems for heating buildings. Proper handling and control of steam are essential to prevent accidents and ensure safety, as it can cause burns and scalds if not properly managed. Safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are crucial when working with steam. Its versatility and effectiveness in providing heat and power make steam a valuable resource in various industrial, chemical, and domestic applications, although its use requires careful control to prevent hazards.
