Dear all,
has anybody ever faced the medium in object (also known as Dichloroformoxime)?

Chemical formula is CHCl2NO, CAS n° 1794-86-1; it is a very poisonous (urticant and blistering) compound, originally developed for war purposes, of the phosgene family.
There is not much literature on the web about that, and all is about safety issues**.

I found that "it decomposes in contact with many metals, but it also is corrosive to many metals"...
My application involves an intermediate gas mix with more than 90% of this "CX" (+ other hydrocarbons) at +175°C and 10 bar.

What kind of metallic materials (stainless steels...?) would you suggest? And what about "soft" materials?
Would you consider that the same as Phosgene? (See Thread798-95255 and Thread408-95131). What difference may the presence of Nitrogen (amminic group in the molecule) cause?

Many thanks in advance, 'NGL
