    The document compares three pipe material options to handle a corrosive substance over a 3 year period: carbon steel schedule 40 would need replacing 3 times at a cost of £39L; carbon steel schedule 80 would need replacing twice at a cost of £45L; and stainless steel would only need one replacement at a cost of £25L. Therefore, the document recommends stainless steel as the best choice due to its lower replacement needs and costs over the 3 year period.

    Solution 7.

    1
    See Section 7.4.1

    Solution 7.2
    1. Carbon steel, schedule 40, life 3 years
    Number of replacements = 3
    Cost = 3 x L(3 + 10) = £39L (where L = pipe length)

    2. Carbon steel, schedule 80


    Wall thickness = 0.5(114.5 – 97.2) = 8.6 mm
    Schedule 40 wall thickness = 6.0mm
    So, schedule 80 should last at least (3)(8.6/6.0) = 4.3 years and so only needs replacing
    twice. Cost = 2 x L(5 + 10) = £45L

    3. Stainless steel, replace once


    Cost = 1 x L(15 + 10) = 25L

    Therefore, the best choice is stainless steel.

    Solutions 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6 and 7.7


    Select suitable materials using the corrosion chart in Appendix C.
    Then check the properties of the materials selected in Section 7.8, or other suitable references.

    Solution 7.8
    See Section 7.7.
    Stainless steel, type 304 would be suitable. Aluminium could be considered as an alternative.
