碳钢可以在外边用,可能要注意一下,洁净区使用304不锈钢就可以了,但是如果针对于经常清洁消毒的区域(比如A,B级区域),根据情况,建议在洁净区使用316,主要考虑到的是管道外壁的腐蚀性。
5.7.6 Optional Materials
Material selection is dependent on the risks the interaction between the gas and materials of construction of all components of the distribution system presents to the end user. Decision processes should be documented and checked.
5.7.6.1 Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is usually used in production areas:
• ASTM 304 grade stainless steel may be adequate for non-sterile manufacturing areas, but there may be a risk of corrosion depending on the cleaning and sanitizing materials used.
• For sterile operations, ASTM 316 grade or equivalent is normally used, as the cleaning and sanitizing materials used are generally more corrosive.
Valves and fittings should be specified to match the piping material. Sanitary jointing methods are not usually required, as there is slight risk of microbial growth within a dry system (see Section 6 of this Guide). Orbital welding may be specified to ensure consistent reliable welds, with a purge gas used to prevent oxide formation inside pipe work.
It may be cost effective to specify lower grade stainless steel (e.g., ASTM 304) for distribution systems, with the benefit of a clean good quality internal finish, with a higher grade used in production areas where it will be subject to more corrosive cleaning agents.
The quality of the stainless steel used for a system will depend on the end use. Suppliers/installers should be consulted to ensure the required cleanliness can be obtained and that the correct documentation is available to support the installation.
5.7.6.2 Medical Grade Copper
Medical gas grade copper (e.g., ASTM B 280ISO n7396-1 part 4.3.6) BS EN13348, may be used in major installations (100 ft (30.5 m) of pipe or more). Material should be specified as clean and degreased, purged during fabrication, and jointed without flux using “hard” or silver solder . Joints to valves are usually by flange or soldered connections. For more information, see http://www.copper.org (Reference 35, Appendix 8). Refrigeration grade copper may be considered.
Copper pipe may used for a distribution system, with a break at a service outlet panel, or a service void, with the final part of the pipe work in stainless steel within a production area. Copper pipe may not be recommended for use with nitrogen, as moisture in the gas may cause internal corrosion.
5.7.6.3 Plastics
Modern thermoplastic (e.g., high density polyethylene) can be used for the clean distribution of gases. Thick walled High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe is available, suited to compressed gases up 160 psi (1 1 bar). HDPE systems can be quick to install, provide a corrosion free smooth internal bore and a clean external surface. The systems can be color coded to match codes for the gas being transported.
Disadvantages of plastic pipe work include:
• Systems may require additional supports (compared to metal systems). Lines may be supported in a channel.
• The material may require additional expansion requirements over those required for a metal system.
• Ultra violet stability of the material for use in external applications should be checked.
• Plastic material cannot be used for a flammable or oxidizing gas:
- The plastic may not present such a high quality vapor barrier as metals.
In some regions, e.g., the US Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) regulates against using brittle plastics for compressed air distribution systems.
Plastic may be used for subsystems where pipe work is protected from mechanical damage, and the outlet valves are mechanically supported, so that there is no stress transmitted to the pipe work, e.g., an inert gas distribution system in a laboratory.
Where pipe work is to be routed though a hazardous area, the melting point of the material should be considered along with the implication of a melted distribution line.
5.7.6.4 Aluminum
Proprietary systems using aluminum pipe work may be limited in size and connected using plastic push in connectors. These systems should not be used for a flammable or oxidizing gas.
Where pipe work is to be routed though a hazardous area, the melting point of the material should be considered along with the implication of a melted distribution line.
5.7.6.5 Carbon Steel
Where a gas is kept at a low Relative Humidity (RH) (below 35%), risk of internal corrosion is minimal; therefore, steel is an option for use in a distribution system. If used, galvanized material is usually selected to provide a corrosion resistant external finish.
Where galvanized material is used, the internal finish should be of good quality and clean, or it will require a long blow down period to clean up the system.
Jointing has to be specified carefully, to ensure minimal risk of generating loose material or contaminating inside a pipe with hydrocarbon, e.g., welding with a purge gas, or screwed joints made using without lubricant/sealant, assembling the joint with non shedding material, such as PTFE tape.
For these reasons as well as the general appearance, carbon steel is not generally used.
