Benzene Material Selection/Corrosion Rates
Benzene Material Selection/Corrosion Rates
(OP)
Looking at using benzene as a solvent up to 300F. It appears carbon steel has less than 2 mpy under 100F (storage) and 316SS up to 150F at higher concentrations. However, benzene will vary in our seperation column (0-100%) and I have found Alloy 20 to be acceptable to 212F in several literature databases.
Have no ideas above 212F at various concentrations? Any ideas where I can go for help?

RE: Benzene Material Selection/Corrosion Rates
In general, whether stainless steel must be used or not is from several purposes. Those things are
1. High temperautre (<about 580C)
2. Corrosive Condition (protecting by chromium oxide)
3. Low temperature (below -70C)
Practically, most of material used in Bezene plant is carbon steel. The reason why is that there is no conditions to use Stainless steel cosidering above 3 conditions.
I strongly recommend carbon steel as a proper and suitable material instead of SS or high alloy.
