    Interconnecting existent CS pipe networks with new piping expansion in SS (304L)

    Dear all, Regarding the compressed air network, I will move the compressors, driers and buffer tank to a new location, so that the new spools in stainless steeç will connect to the carbon steel existing network, so in this case, maybe the corrosion and contamination would be minimized. What do...

    Interconnecting existent CS pipe networks with new piping expansion in SS (304L)

    Dear TugboatEng, Regarding the fire water main, I will suggest to the client to use carbon steel for the new branches, and galvanized steel for the dry columns. The danger of blowing an old fire water main is too high in this case. Many thanks & kind regards.
