We are making studies about the material to be used for a boiler feed water line, diameter 8” or 10”, and about 2 kilometers length (also have about 170 elbows).
I would like to receive your opinions about what is the most economical choice between stainless steel pipe and lined pipe. If lined CS pipe is the most economical choice, which lining material is the material recommended.
The line will be 8” or 10”, will work about 50 °C and 140 psig.

Thanks in advance for your comments.
