Can carbon steel be used for water at 120°C with 380 ppm of chloride ions?
Thread Content
Dear experts, I’m facing a specific operating condition: water at 120°C with 380 ppm of chloride ions. Is it possible to use carbon steel in this case? Are there any other better materials? Thank you
“Design Code for Industrial Circulating Cooling Water Treatment” – check if there are any explanations in it, or just use Ti:lol
Carbon steel combined with polyaniline coating can be used for corrosion protection; it has a low cost and good performance
Your operating conditions are not complete; if the pressure is low, you can use non-metallic pipes directly, or opt for lined pipes. At this temperature, with such high chloride levels, ordinary carbon steel is likely not to hold up for long.
