    Sulfidation temperature for CS and SS

    Gents, Sulfidation occurs at high temperature. We currently have CS application of high sulphur content gas at temperature ~300C (H2S 2%, SO2 1%, CS2 0.1%) but low pressure (<40kPa). I am looking at adding a fired heat exchanger to this stream, in which case, the heat exchanger tube temperature...

    Ni and Cr content in SA194 Gr4 and Gr7

    SA-194 does not have Ni and Cr composition requirement for Gr 4, neither Ni composition requirement for Gr7. However, the MTR showed these compositions. Is any percentage acceptable for Gr4 and Gr7 or this has to be rejected? Thanks in advance. Henry
