Seawater is one of the most corrosive environments where even corrosion resistant alloy like Stainless Steels can fail due to localized types of corrosion like Pitting Corrosion or Crevice Corrosion.
We've posted a good article on this issue and now is time for another fundamental document on how to select Materials for Pumps in Saline Water and Brine services.
It's a paper written ny NIDI - The Nickel Development Institute, one of the most important source of free publication on Nickel Alloys corrosion, properties and material selection:
Materials for Saline Water, Desalination and Oilfield Brine Pumps. - NIDI n° 11004.
This paper gives a brief description on the corrosivity of seawater, corrosion types and practical examples of material selection for pumps.
If you'are looking for more papers and documents on material selection for seawater service
nice article. Indeed, the proper pumps should be used when dealing with seawater.
