Low temperature piping material
Low temperature piping material

Need to know which is the most preferable low temperature piping material for above 600# system, whether carbon steel A333 Gr 6 or Austenitic SS. I know Austenitic stainless steels like 304 or 316 can be used at cryogenic temperatures as low as liquid helium temp (-269deg C). Are there any credits for using A333 Gr6 apart from cost?
thanks....sB

What is your design "low temperature" or minimum design metal temperature for this 600 # piping system? Until this temperature is known, it is hard to select the most appropriate material based on cost.
