Please can you advise what ss tube material should be used for potable and non potable hot water piping systems. I have heard that 316 ss is ok up to 65 deg c and above this 2205 should be used, is this correct? What are the max temperatures fro 304,316 pipework? Are any papers/literature on this subject? Many thanks John

John, The 304 and 316 stainless steel piping can be used in industrial/process and potable water systems to temepratures far exceeding 65C. According to ASME B31.3, Process piping code, 304,304L,316,316L piping systems can be designed to well over 1000F. The selection of stainless piping material for potable water systems depends mostly on the amounbt of chlorides present. 316 is superior to 304 and 2205, in my opinion, is overkill With modest temperatures (<200F) and pressures, you may be able to get away with a 304/304L system. Info on SS materials can be found on www.nidi.org.....(you may have to dig around a little) My opinion only MJC
