RESISTANT ALLOYS Piping and equipment made of 9Cr, 13 Cr or CRA are resistant.

Stainless clad equipment is also resistant. Injection of certain

chemicals called corrosion inhibitors can slow or prevent
corrosion allowing use of CS where it would otherwise be
unacceptable.

The intent of the cookbook is not to provide the user with detailed, comprehensive
instructions for selection, sizing and rating relief valves; there are plenty of industry and
company documents and manuals which exhaust these topics. Instead, the cookbook is
intended to serve as an overall guide in the PSV selection, sizing and rating process, and
steer the user toward the appropriate references at each step in the process. Additionally,
the cookbook guides the user to references covering associated topics critical to
selection/sizing/rating, such as defining relief scenarios and designing PSV piping, to name
a couple.
