PVC, CPVC, HDPE, GRP/GRE, and Concrete Non-metallic piping has become an important engineering solution for water, wastewater, chemical, utility, marine, and selected industrial services. Unlike metallic piping, these systems can provide excellent resistance to many corrosive environments while reducing corrosion-related maintenance. However, non-metallic does not automatically mean low-pressure, non-critical, or unsuitable for industrial service. The … Read more
Copper, Nickel, Aluminum, Titanium, Zirconium, and Their Alloys Non-ferrous metals are important in process piping when carbon steel or stainless steel cannot provide the required combination of corrosion resistance, temperature capability, weight, thermal performance, or service life. The term covers metals and alloys in which iron is not the principal constituent; it does not mean … Read more
Stainless steel is one of the most important material families used in process piping because its chromium-rich passive surface can provide strong resistance to many aqueous, chemical, atmospheric, and high-temperature environments. But “stainless steel” is not a single material. Austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, precipitation-hardening, duplex, and super duplex grades can have very different corrosion resistance, strength, … Read more
Alloy steel is carbon steel that contains carefully controlled amounts of alloying elements such as chromium, molybdenum, nickel, vanadium, and manganese to improve mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, hardenability, and high-temperature performance. In piping systems, alloy steels are widely used in refineries, petrochemical plants, power stations, offshore facilities, LNG terminals, and chemical processing plants … Read more
Carbon steel is the fundamental material for industrial process piping due to its high tensile strength and versatility. Its performance depends heavily on the deoxidization manufacturing process—specifically, using fully “killed” steel to prevent porosity—and selecting the correct ASTM grade. While ASTM A106 (seamless) is mandated for high-temperature, high-pressure environments, ASTM A53 (welded or seamless) is … Read more
