Materials for Construction for Process Equipment and Piping ...

Materials for Construction for Process Equipment and Piping Systems- Selection and In-Service Performance Introduction Appropriate material selection is the cornerstone of pressure equipment and piping design, operation and maintenance. Engineers must select materials of construction that provide adequate strength at operating temperatures and pressures, in compliance with applicable construction codes and with regard to their resistance to corrosion and other likely degradation mechanisms, as well as to cost-effectiveness. The acceptability of materials is controlled by the relevant Codes.
