1. View service conditions
The service conditions of stainless steel parts or equipment include corrosive medium composition, temperature, pressure, stress state, expected life, etc., which are the prerequisites for selecting applicable stainless steel. Fully understanding the service conditions of components is the first necessary condition for reasonable selection of stainless steel.
2. Deeply understand the performance and relevant data of stainless steel pipe
Stainless steel materials shall be selected according to the working conditions of components or equipment. The material selection personnel shall have a better understanding of the performance of various stainless steels, environmental factors limiting their use, and whether they are easy to purchase, so as to make targeted selection.
3. Engineering practice experience
Under similar service conditions, the actual use experience of stainless steel pipe materials is an important basis for reasonable material selection, which should be paid special attention.
4. Simulation test data
In many corrosive environments and without practical experience, laboratory simulation test data or field coupon data are often the key data for the rational selection of stainless steel pipe materials.
