Materials Selection for Chemical Process Equipment
Sector:
Chemicals & Process – Polymers and Materials
Technical Focus Area:
Polymer & Materials Engineering
About the Course
This course provides practical training in materials selection for chemical process equipment, covering how materials are chosen to withstand the corrosive, thermal, and mechanical conditions found in chemical processing environments. It is designed for engineers responsible for equipment materials specification.
Participants examine corrosion mechanisms, materials compatibility with process fluids, and materials selection methodology, building the practical skills needed to specify equipment materials that perform reliably over the intended service life. Case examples illustrate materials selection decisions and failures.
Learning Milestones
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Select materials appropriate for specific process conditions.
- Assess corrosion risk for a given material-fluid combination.
- Apply materials selection methodology systematically.
- Evaluate materials compatibility with process chemicals.
- Identify materials-related equipment failure modes.
- Support materials specification documentation.
