In today’s modern highly complex oil refineries proper material selection has become one of the most important factors in the design and repair of refinery processing equipment. Proper material selection will ensure that the expectations of the designers for safety, reliability and economy are actually realized. On the other hand, improper materials selection can result in unexpected equipment failures which can lead to significant losses.
