I am selecting suitalble materials for bellows and liner of expansion joint at the folling conditions. -100 degC produced water with up to 3% NaCl content, and -150 degC bitumen with relatively low chlorides I want to use A240-316L for those materials. Could you please advise if I have seletected correct materials. Thank you. YONG

coral.... In the first case, it sounds like you have seawater at the boiling point. With that level of chlorides, I believe that titanium may be a good choice. This link may help: http://www.stainless-steel-world.net/pdf/10011.pdf These people seem to make about every type of EJ..... http://www.americanboa.com/ In the second case, I believe that the 316SS will be OK....if, of course, there are no chlorides present My opinion only...
