10. AQUEOUS CHLORIDE SOLUTIONS

Precautions shall be taken to prevent exposure to aqueous chloride-containing
solutions of Ferritic and austenitic stainless steels which are susceptible to chloride
stress corrosion cracking and Pitting. These precautions shall include controlling the
chloride content of hydrotest water, protection during shipment and storage

 Controlling CI content of hydrotest water shall be in accordance with the

guidelines as per DEP 74.00.10.10 - Gen
 Nitrogen Blanketing is mandatory for storage and during shipment of all
equipment with Austenitic Stainless Steel Weld Overlay. And shall be in
