Pipe Material For Pipe And Pipe Elements

MATERIAL SELECTION OF PIPING COMPONENTS

The first thing to be considered is the selection of suitable material for the service. The selection of piping material requires knowledge of corrosion properties, strength and engineering characteristics, relative cost and availability.
The   main process considerations  in the material selection are the corrosion properties of the fluid, the pressure temperature conditions of the service and the nature of the service.

The Piping Designer selects/designs the piping components based on the mechanical properties  such as the following.

Yield strength

Ultimate strength

 Percentage elongation

Impact strength

Creep-rupture strength

Fatigue endurance strength
