Corrosion-led material selection
Chemical & Process Equipment
Procure stainless steel and higher-alloy products for process equipment using a complete corrosion and design basis. Media, concentration, temperature, pressure, contaminants, fabrication and inspection requirements should accompany the inquiry.
Material choice, design calculations and regulatory acceptance remain with the project design authority.
