AMPP Resources Materials Selection for Hydrocarbon and Chemical Plants 38206

This book describes a systematic procedure for using process and mechanical design information to select materials of construction suitable for a wide range of chemical and hydrocarbon processing plants. It analyzes threshold values for degradation phenomena involving corrosion or thermal damage; explores corrosion mitigation methods such as cathodic protection; covers the use of templates in the materials selection diagram; discusses corrosion testing and its relevance to materials selection; presents information on how to calculate corrosion rates for a variety of corrodents; examines strain aging and other forms of embrittlement; and more. 1996 by Marcel Dekker Inc., 6-1/4” x 9-1/4”, hardbound, 412 pages, figures, tables, photos, literature citations, appendices, index
