WHAT ARE THE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS WITH AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEEL TUBES, TYPE 304 AND 316?
Stress corrosion cracking of austenitic stainless steel eliminates it from use in ASME Section I pressure vessels. Chloride levels in the water, or halogen compounds in the flue gas, can cause leaks in these tubes in a very short amount of time. Many studies can be found on the internet on this subject, (search: stainless steel SCC). We offer duplex stainless steel tubes to combat this problem.
