Common Name for Chemical and Selection of Stainless Steel By wilsonpipeline.com

The ‘appropriate grades’ notes are taken from the Avesta Sheffield Corrosion Handbook and are shown for general guidance only. Specific grade selection should be rechecked with corrosion tables. A link to the SST ORG web site article that describes where to find the corrosion tables on the Stainless steel tube corrosion can be found in the Related Links section of this article.

The table is referenced by the common name.
