NACE SP0403-2023, Avoiding Caustic Stress Corrosion Cracking of Refinery Equipment and Piping

Picture for NACE SP0403-2023
Available for download

This standard practice is intended to provide guidance to those designing, fabricating, and/or maintaining refinery equipment and piping that are exposed to caustic environments.

Caustic is used in many petroleum refinery applications in a wide range of concentrations and temperatures.  Caustic stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of carbon steel (CS) equipment has been reported in industry since the 1930s, e.g., in riveted steam boilers.  NACE has published guidance for handling sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in the form of a “Caustic Service Chart” since at least the mid-1960s.

AMPP SP21534-2024, Materials and Fabrication Requirements for Carbon Steel Pressure Vessels in Petroleum Refining Wet H2S Environments

Product Number: AMPP SP21534-2024
Publication Date: 2024
$109.00

This AMPP standard defines standard practices for new carbon steel (CS) pressure vessels to be used in petroleum refining wet hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-containing environments, with the recommended steps for resisting the damage mechanisms listed below. It covers materials, welding, testing, and other fabrication requirements. It is intended to be used by refiners, equipment fabricators, engineering contractors, and construction contractors.

AMPP TM21453-2023, Laboratory Testing for Resistance to Environmentally-Assisted Hydrogen Stress Cracking in Welds

Product Number: AMPP TM21453-2023
Publication Date: 2023
$109.00

This standard covers the testing of welds subjected to tensile stresses for resistance to cracking in aqueous environments containing a source of hydrogen charging. Carbon and low alloy steels and their matching welds are commonly tested for EAC resistance at room temperature where susceptibility is typically high. For other types of alloys, the correlation of EAC susceptibility with temperature is more complicated. For example, dissimilar welds of nickel alloy on carbon or low alloy steel have shown susceptibility at low, seabed temperatures (4 °C [39 °F]). Matching welds made on duplex stainless steels have shown similar susceptibility (DNV RP-F112).

AMPP Guide 21532-2023, Guideline for Materials Selection and Corrosion Control for CO2 Transport and Injection

Product Number: AMPP Guide 21532-2023
Publication Date: 2023
$109.00

The purpose of this document is to provide guidance on materials selection and corrosion control for engineers in the design and identification of operating limits for projects that involve CO2 transport and injection. It should be used as a guide to help identify specific requirements which can be tailored for each project rather than as definitive requirements used straight from the document. References are also made to other relevant documents and standards. The guidance provided for an initial design should help the engineer focus on the most critical issues related to CO2 transport and injection. It is a rapidly growing subject area and much exploratory technical work is still being executed, and as such this document should be seen as a starting point with future updates and new insights to be expected.
