What material should be used for a medium of chlorine?
Your requirements are not sufficient; if it’s equipment, lining with plastic can be an option.
For chlorine, Q345R is sufficient; for low-temperature applications, 16MnDR is the appropriate choice
Carbon steel will work; the main requirement is high welding quality
Well, that’s correct; the chlorine buffer tanks we produce are made from Q345R
Moisture selects titanium, dry chlorine selects carbon steel
Q345R can be used, but overall heat treatment is required
After reading the reply from the Shanghai user, I feel it answers the original poster’s question based a bit on habits and experience. The operating conditions in chemical production are complex. Therefore, it is best to be thorough and cautious when answering. If the moisture content in chlorine gas is too high, carbon steel materials corrode rapidly. Titanium must be used in this case.
Carbon steel will work; the main requirement is high welding quality, with no defects allowed
