Industrial
Hi all,
I am a mechanical engineer from the petrochemical industries and was task to design some temporary piping for the decon of my plant.
My query comes where I was asked to use SS304 of ss316 for a certain service that is between -50 degrees to -100 degrees. I have done my research and understand that ltcs (low temp carbon steel) can only take up to -45 degrees. However if I am just using for short time (3-7 days) is there any concern of using ltcs instead. The cost of materials and welding ss is much higher than ltcs and I would like to reduce the cost
