HG20581 "Provisions for the Selection of Materials for Steel Chemical Containers" is a supplement and specification of GB150 "Steel Pressure Vessels" in combination with the specific conditions of chemical container design. It stipulates the selection, technical requirements, use restrictions and scope of steel and welding materials for steel chemical containers, the use of new materials and steel produced according to foreign standards, and steel substitution. Unless otherwise specified, the scope of use, reference standards and definitions of this standard are the same as those of GB150 "Steel Pressure Vessels".
This standard is applicable to the design of welded chemical container materials of carbon steel, low alloy high strength steel, pearlite heat resistant steel, stainless steel and stainless composite steel plate with a design pressure not exceeding 35.0MPa and a design temperature above -20C. The types of materials include rolled products, forgings, castings and welding materials.
The selection, technical requirements and scope of use of the container body (shell, head, pipe, flange, tube sheet, etc.) and its accessories, welding materials shall comply with the requirements of this standard. When the design has higher or special requirements for materials, it should be indicated on the drawings or corresponding documents. 29
Carbon steel: an iron-carbon alloy with a manganese content of less than or equal to 1.20%, a carbon content of less than or equal to 2.0%, and no intentional addition of other alloying elements (Si, AI and other elements may be added for deoxidation purposes). Low carbon steel generally refers to carbon steel with a carbon content of less than or equal to 0.25%. Low alloy high strength steel: an alloy steel with a total alloy content of less than 3% for the main purpose of improving the strength of steel and improving comprehensive performance. Low carbon, weldable low alloy structural steels such as 16MnR and 18MnMoNbR are often used in chemical containers. Pearlite heat-resistant steel is a low-carbon pearlite heat-resistant steel with the main purpose of improving the heat resistance and hydrogen resistance of steel, and adding alloying elements such as chromium (≤10%) and molybdenum, such as 0.5Mo, 1V4Cr-0.5Mo.5Cr-0.5Mo, etc. Low alloy steel is a general term for low alloy high strength steel and pearlite heat-resistant steel. Stainless steel is an alloy steel with a nominal chromium content greater than or equal to 13% that is stainless in the atmosphere. According to the metallographic structure of steel at room temperature, it can be divided into ferritic stainless steel, austenitic stainless steel, duplex stainless steel, martensitic stainless steel, etc. Austenitic stainless steel is often used in chemical containers. However, ferritic stainless steel, duplex stainless steel, etc. are also used from time to time. Austenitic stainless steel is a stainless steel with a metallographic structure of mostly austenite at room temperature, such as 0Cr18Ni9, 0Cr18Ni12Mo2Ti, etc. Ferritic stainless steel is a stainless steel with a metallographic structure of ferrite at room temperature, such as 0Cr13AI, etc. Ferritic steel is a general term for carbon steel, low alloy high strength steel, pearlite heat resistant steel and ferritic stainless steel. Pressure vessels and pressure components are a general term for low pressure, medium pressure and high pressure vessels and their pressure components. The main pressure components refer to the shell and formed heads of pressure vessels, which are mainly subjected to the overall primary membrane stress. Non-pressure components are a general term for non-pressure components in normal pressure vessels and pressure vessels. 30

4 General principles of material selection
4.0.1 The selection of steel for chemical containers must consider the operating conditions of the equipment (such as design pressure, design temperature, characteristics of the medium), the welding performance of the material, the cold and hot processing performance, the heat treatment and the structure of the container. 4.0.2 The selection of steel for chemical containers must consider economic rationality on the premise of meeting Article 4.0.1. Under normal circumstances, the following regulations are economically reasonable.
1 When the required steel plate thickness is less than 8mm, between carbon steel and low-alloy high-strength steel, carbon steel plates should be used as much as possible (except for multi-layer containers);
2 In situations where stiffness or structural design is the main consideration, ordinary carbon steel should be used as much as possible. In the occasions where strength design is the main purpose, Q235A, Q235B, 20R (20g), 16MnR and other steel plates should be selected in turn according to the use restrictions such as pressure, temperature, and medium; 3 When the required stainless steel thickness is greater than 12mm, lining, composite, surfacing and other structural forms should be used as much as possible; 4 Stainless steel should not be used as heat-resistant steel with a design temperature of 500℃ or less as much as possible 5 Pearlite heat-resistant steel should not be used as heat-resistant steel with a design temperature of 350℃ or less as much as possible. When pearlite heat-resistant steel must be used for heat-resistant or hydrogen-resistant purposes, the types and specifications of steel should be reduced and merged as much as possible. 4.0.3 The selection objects of various types of steel listed in this article are the guiding principles of design and should be implemented under normal circumstances. 1 Carbon steel is used for normal pressure and low-pressure vessels with less corrosive media, medium-pressure vessels with small wall thickness, forgings, pressure-bearing steel pipes, non-pressure components and other occasions where the wall thickness is determined by rigidity or structural factors. 2 Low alloy high strength steel is used for pressure vessels with less corrosive media and thicker walls (≥8mm). 3 Pearlite heat resistant steel is used to resist high temperature hydrogen or hydrogen sulfide corrosion, or heat resistant steel for pressure vessels with a design temperature of 350-650°C. 4 Stainless steel is used for heat resistant or low temperature steel with high corrosive media (electrochemical corrosion, chemical corrosion), anti-iron ion pollution, or design temperature greater than 500°C or design temperature less than -100°C. 5 Austenitic stainless steel that does not contain stabilizing elements and has a carbon content greater than 0.03% should not be used in environments that may cause intergranular corrosion of stainless steel when it needs to be welded or hot processed at above 400°C. 4.0.4 In addition to meeting the requirements of relevant steel standards, steel materials shall also meet the technical requirements, use restrictions and scope of this standard for steel materials.
4.0.5 Steel used as standard parts of chemical equipment such as equipment flanges, pipe flanges, pipe fittings, manholes, liquid level gauges, etc. shall comply with the technical requirements of national standards and industry standards for relevant parts (any conflicts with the corresponding provisions of this standard shall not be subject to the restrictions of this standard).
① When 20R is difficult to supply, 20g can be used. 33
5 Technical requirements for steel
5.1 General technical requirements
5.1.1 Steel for pressure vessels and pressure components (plates, pipes, profiles, forgings, castings) shall be smelted in open hearth, electric furnace or oxygen converter. 5.1.2 The steel used for the main pressure-bearing components of high-temperature pressure vessels that meet the following conditions at the same time shall be re-tested for the yield strength value at the design temperature according to the furnace number, and the value shall not be less than 1.6 times (1.5 times for austenitic steel) of the corresponding allowable stress value: 1 Design temperature greater than 300℃;
2 Design pressure greater than or equal to 1.6MPa;
3 Steel thickness greater than or equal to 20mm:
4 The main section of the steel is mainly to bear the primary film stress, and its thickness depends on the result of the strength calculation. 5.1.3 When austenitic stainless steel is used in an environment that may cause intergranular corrosion①, the intergranular corrosion tendency test shall be carried out in accordance with CB4334.1~4334.5 "Test Method for Intergranular Corrosion of Stainless Steel Products". 1 Except for the following cases, austenitic stainless steel should be tested for intergranular corrosion tendency with samples in the as-supplied state: (1) Steel for welded structures (including weld repair) should be tested with samples that have been sensitized in the as-supplied state, and welded joints should be tested with samples in the welded state;
(2) Austenitic stainless steel that needs to be heated to a temperature above 400°C (except for solution treatment or stabilization treatment) during manufacturing or use should be tested with samples that have been sensitized in the as-supplied state. The sensitization treatment system is generally 650°C for 0.5 to 2 hours. Duplex stainless steel is 650°C for half an hour. 2 The selection of the test method for intergranular corrosion tendency of austenitic stainless steel and its qualification requirements can be formulated according to the following provisions: (1) Austenitic stainless steel used in nitric acid with a temperature greater than or equal to 60°C and a concentration greater than or equal to 5%, and stainless steel specially used for concentrated nitric acid, shall be tested in accordance with GB4334.3 "Stainless Steel 65% Nitric Acid Corrosion Test Method", and the average corrosion rate of five cycles or the maximum corrosion rate of three cycles shall not exceed 0.6 g/m2h (or equivalent to 0.6 mm/year). The sample state can be in the use state or sensitized state.
(2) Non-molybdenum-containing austenitic stainless steel (such as 0Cr18Ni10Ti.00Cr19Ni10, 0Cr18Ni9 and similar steels): General requirements: According to GB4334.5 "Stainless Steel Sulfuric Acid-Copper Sulfate Corrosion Test Method", after the bending test, there shall be no intergranular corrosion cracks on the surface of the sample.
Higher requirements: According to GB4334.2 "Stainless Steel Sulfuric Acid-Ferrous Sulfate Corrosion Test Method", the average corrosion rate shall not exceed 1.1 g/m2h. It can also be tested by 65% nitric acid method according to GB4334.3, and its qualified requirements are the same as those of 5.1.3, paragraph 2 (1). (3) Contains austenitic stainless steel (such as 0Cr18Ni12Mo2Ti, 00Cr17Ni14Mo2 and similar steels). General requirements: According to GB4334.5 "Stainless steel sulfuric acid-copper sulfate corrosion test method", after the bending test, there shall be no intergranular corrosion cracks on the surface of the sample.
Higher requirements: According to GB4334.4 "Stainless steel nitric acid-hydrofluoric acid corrosion test method", the corrosion ratio shall not exceed 1.5. ① "The environment that may cause intergranular corrosion" must be an electrochemical corrosion environment with electrolytes. The electrolytes that may cause intergranular corrosion of austenitic stainless steel are mainly acidic media, such as industrial acetic acid, formic acid, chromic acid, lactic acid, nitric acid, oxalic acid, phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, sulfuric acid, ammonium carbamate, etc. For details, see "Corrosion Data Chart" compiled by GA. Nelson, National Chemical Equipment Design Technology Center, 1974 edition. Generally, pure alcohol, aldehyde, ketone, ether, benzene, phenol, alkane, gasoline and other solutions and gaseous media will not cause intergranular corrosion to austenitic stainless steel. 34
According to the sulfuric acid-ferrous sulfate (GB4334.2) method, the average corrosion rate should not be greater than 1.1 g/m2·hour. (4) When there are special requirements for the medium, intergranular corrosion tests other than those specified above can be carried out and corresponding qualification requirements can be specified. 3 The 10% oxalic acid method (GB4334.1) is allowed to be used as a screening test method for the 65% nitric acid method, sulfuric acid-copper sulfate (copper scraps) method, sulfuric acid-ferrous sulfate method, and nitric acid-hydrofluoric acid method. However, when used for screening of the 65% nitric acid method, it is not applicable to austenitic stainless steel containing Mo or Ti.
5.1.4 The allowable stress of austenitic stainless steel listed in GB150 "Steel Pressure Vessels" is applicable to austenitic stainless steel that meets general technical requirements. When the additional requirement is that the lower limit of carbon content is greater than or equal to 0.04%, rapid cooling and heat treatment at a temperature above 1050℃ is required, or the grain size of the steel is coarser than or equal to the 6-grade requirement, the higher high temperature allowable stress value (i.e. 304H, 316H, 321H) can be selected by referring to JIS B8270 or the first and second volumes of the first volume of ASME of the United States. 5.2 Steel Plate
5.2.1 When medium and thick hot-rolled steel plates with a maximum thickness negative deviation of 0.25 mm are used, the negative thickness deviation C of the steel plate may be ignored in the design calculation of the pressure vessel.
5.2.2 Steel plates supplied in accordance with GB6654 are guaranteed to have a negative deviation of 0.25mm in thickness. 5.2.3 When the thickness of the steel plate is less than 6mm, but low-carbon steel or low-alloy high-strength steel plates of container grade must be used, HP245 and HP345 steel plates produced in accordance with GB6653 "Welded Gas Cylinder Steel Plates" should be selected. 5.2.4 For containers with a design temperature greater than or equal to 0°C, 20g, 16Mng, 15MnVg, and 18MnMoNbg steel plates that meet the requirements of GB713 "Carbon Steel and Low-Alloy Steel Plates for Boilers" can be used equivalently to 20R, 16MnR, 15MnVR, and 18MnMoNbR steel plates that meet the requirements of GB6654.
5.2.5 Common thickness specifications for steel plates are shown in Table 5-1. Common thickness specifications should be used as much as possible in design. Table 5-1 Common thickness of steel plates

Impact energy of standard specimen (J)
Other small-sized impact tests that can be processed as thick as possible according to the thickness of the steel are allowed. The impact energy requirement is reduced in proportion to the width of the specimen. Ferritic steel plates with a thickness of 6mm or more for main pressure-bearing components with a design pressure greater than or equal to 1.6MPa or a design temperature less than 0℃ but greater than -20℃ should be subjected to room temperature V-notch Charpy impact toughness test (transverse sampling, average value of three specimens in each group), and the impact energy should at least reach the requirement of 27J (small-sized specimens are reduced in proportion). Steel plates for containers with extremely hazardous and highly hazardous media should also meet the above requirements. When the steel plate thickness is less than 6mm and the impact test cannot be carried out, steel plates for welded gas cylinders that comply with GB6653 should be used. 3 Ferritic steel plates with a thickness of 50 mm or more for the main pressure-bearing components of pressure vessels shall ensure that the V-notch Charpy impact energy (transverse) at a temperature of 17°C minus the water temperature of the hydraulic test is not less than the above requirements. 4 When conducting the Charpy impact toughness test (normal temperature or low temperature), the minimum value of a single specimen shall not be less than 70% of the corresponding mean value requirement. For those who can process standard 10mm×10mm×55mm specimens, small-sized impact specimens shall not be used. When the material thickness is too small to cut standard specimens, 7.5.5, 2.5mm×10mm×55mm small-sized specimens are allowed, and their impact energy requirements are 75%, 50%, and 25% of the corresponding standard specimens. 5 The longitudinal and transverse impact energy requirements of steel plates, when there is no other reliable basis, can be converted according to the following ratio: longitudinal test specimen: transverse test specimen = 1: 0.7

3Austenitic stainless steel should be used in the solid solution state or stabilized state (only for austenitic stainless steel with stabilizing elements). Austenitic stainless steel plates that have been heat-treated above 600℃ should be re-solution treated or stabilized when used in an intergranular corrosion environment.

Impact energy of standard specimen (J)
Other small-sized impact tests that can be processed as thick as possible according to the thickness of the steel are allowed. The impact energy requirement is reduced in proportion to the width of the specimen. Ferritic steel plates with a thickness of 6mm or more for main pressure-bearing components with a design pressure greater than or equal to 1.6MPa or a design temperature less than 0℃ but greater than -20℃ should be subjected to room temperature V-notch Charpy impact toughness test (transverse sampling, average value of three specimens in each group), and the impact energy should at least reach the requirement of 27J (small-sized specimens are reduced in proportion). Steel plates for containers with extremely hazardous and highly hazardous media should also meet the above requirements. When the steel plate thickness is less than 6mm and the impact test cannot be carried out, steel plates for welded gas cylinders that comply with GB6653 should be used. 3 Ferritic steel plates with a thickness of 50 mm or more for the main pressure-bearing components of pressure vessels shall ensure that the V-notch Charpy impact energy (transverse) at a temperature of 17°C minus the water temperature of the hydraulic test is not less than the above requirements. 4 When conducting the Charpy impact toughness test (normal temperature or low temperature), the minimum value of a single specimen shall not be less than 70% of the corresponding mean value requirement. For those who can process standard 10mm×10mm×55mm specimens, small-sized impact specimens shall not be used. When the material thickness is too small to cut standard specimens, 7.5.5, 2.5mm×10mm×55mm small-sized specimens are allowed, and their impact energy requirements are 75%, 50%, and 25% of the corresponding standard specimens. 5 The longitudinal and transverse impact energy requirements of steel plates, when there is no other reliable basis, can be converted according to the following ratio: longitudinal test specimen: transverse test specimen = 1:0.7
