E-raamat: Materials Selection for Hydrocarbon and Chemical Plants

Describes the systematic procedure for using process and mechanical design information to select construction materials suitable for a range of chemical and hydrocarbon processing plants. The volume features tables for locating the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) product form specifications for construction materials that have code-allowable design stresses. It analyzes threshold values for degradation phenomena involving thermal damage.

Describes a systematic procedure for using process and mechanical design information to select suitable construction materials for a wide range of chemical and hydrocarbon processing plants. Covers designing a materials selection template, basic materials engineering both by type of corrosion and by material, failure modes due to high temperature or corrosion, corrosion testing, and details of using the template and a diagram to select materials. Also offers examples for hydrocarbon, petrochemical, and chemical processes. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
