Abstract

An experimental study was carried out this article expresses and provides an overview on the factors affected to known cause of failure of the tube and pipe materials. The limitations of material are crucial during the selection for a specific application. This paper helps to identify the factors that need to be considered when selecting a material. Properties compared in this article include corrosion resistance, stress corrosion cracking potential, thermal and mechanical properties, erosion resistance, vibration potential, and temperature limitations. The comparison guides are intended to be quick tools to assist the user in selecting a cost-effective material for a specific application. From the above important consideration, even though the material cost may be slightly higher side but the system will run in long life. So we need the materials selection process in such a manner that the property of the material will be withstand as much as for the above said requirements and also consider other financial aspects. This article is intend to prepared in such a way that to consider all comparable elements and try to give a solution for the tube selection of condenser tube for Nuclear Power Plants as well as Thermal Power Plants.
