List of Corrosion Resistance of Stainless Steels against Chemical Cargoes 1. Corrosion resistance data of stainless steel Type304 and ‘Type316L used for tanks of chemical tankers are presented in the following tables 2. The distinction tables of chemical cargoes are quoted from IBC code chapter 17 and chapter 18. ‘The condition of cargoes are defined to be 100% contents, at ambient temperature. 8. The designation of corrosion grades in the tables 3-1, Marks on each list indicate their corrosion resistance as follows, O 5 Satisfactory ; Corrosion rate is less than 0.Imm/y. X 5 Not recommended 5 Corrosion rate is not standardized. Ps Pending 3-2, Sub-grades used in the designation "A"have the following meaning. "2"; Corrosive when foreign material is contained.

However, the following limitations are imposed on the handling of loads from loading through transport to unloading. (2) Chemicals which may decompose should be applied with stabilizer to prevent decomposition during transport. (2) Water content of each chemical load should be within the tolerances (the range in which water does not separate out), jemical cargoes. (3) A set of requirements are especially stipulated for some steteeesenneeees Appendix K 2-19
