What are the corrosion criteria to be considered in the design of a molten sulfur storage tank of 8000 t capacity? External corrosion is also expected to be high since the item is to be installed in shore area. Can we get any literature specific to molten sulfur storage?

Re: What corrosion criteria should be considered in the design of a molten sulfur storage?
11 January 2013 at 2:43pmI do not have any expertise in the area of molten sulfur. I have read if the sulfur is dry, 304 or 316 stainless steel will work equally well for molten sulfur. The presence of moisture or oxygen due to aeration will make the stream more corrosive, in which case 316 stainless steel might be preferred. I have also read that seamless carbon steel pipe is commonly used for this application. I am sorry I cannot give a more helpful answer.
