Liquid Hydrogen Piping: What Material to Use?
Today we want to talk about piping for transporting liquid hydrogen at -253°. Some time ago, one of our readers asked us which type of stainless steel was suitable for this use. What did our expert answer about liquid hydrogen piping? Cryogenic temperatures: which material can withstand them? Austenitic steels, such as AISI 316 and […]
Aqueducts Design: Pros and Cons of AISI 316 and AISI 304
In the previous post, we saw what are the criteria for choosing between an AISI 304 stainless steel and an AISI 316 for aqueducts design. As promised, today we will find out which stainless steel is most suitable for this purpose. Acqueducts design: we look at different materials The substantial differences in chemical composition between AISI 304 […]
