Use of 316L piping in offshore at high temperature

Use of 316L piping in offshore at high temperature

Use of 316L piping in offshore at high temperature

(OP)
Hello,

My concern is to use 316L SS for piping in offshore environment with a maximum temperature of 170°C.
If 316L is not recommended even coated, what could be the suitable material 6Mo, duplex, nickel base ??

thanks in advance
    

RE: Use of 316L piping in offshore at high temperature

What is the fluid?  I regard type 316L stainless steel as suitable offshore but not for all fluids.

RE: Use of 316L piping in offshore at high temperature

160 C is not that hot, 316 is the salt water standard steel. If you really need salt water protection and high temperatures you will have to look at a Nickle based products and they are much more expensive.

If you are using in a sub sea environment your really have to do the research yourself and contact your steel suppliers. You can't take any risks with materials on sub sea oil/exploration as you already probably know.
