Condition of petrochemical production equipment at low climatic temperatures

  • Published:
Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Aims and scope

Possibilities are considered for an engineering approach to evaluating steel brittle failure resistance under the action of low climatic temperatures. Information is provided about critical brittleness temperatures for a number of carbon, silicon-manganese, and chromium-molybdenum steels applied to different forms of billets (rolled product, pipes, forgings) and objects made from them.
