We have extensive use of 304L, 316L, and Inconel 718 tubing in our pressure equipment. The tubing of much of this equipment is filled with silicone-based oil. At other times the fluid is a gas, normally air.
One of our customers is using carbon dioxide as a pressure medium, and I would like to evaluate if this could facilitate corrosion. The gas could be present under pressure for durations up to a year and longer.
What is a good source for showing how resistant these metals are to corrosion from various gasses, particularly carbon dioxide?
Thanks,
Tim
