SS exhaust piping question - choosing a good SS
SS exhaust piping question - choosing a good SS
(OP)
Customer's materials group is requesting to know of any particular problems or preferences when using stainless steel for exhaust piping. It's an industrial diesel engine going into a refinery as the driver for the cooling water tower. Expected stack temp at max load & speed s 972.9'F. They're leaning towards SS304H or SS316H. This is my first app for SS exhaust, any input appreciated.

My concern is hte risk of any condensation in the piping. The condensation will contain a lot of sulfuric and nitric acid. A high alloy material would be needed for this section of hte piping.

I don't know the metallurgy, but it is what we do.
