DEVELOPMENTS IN MACHINERY AND PIPING SYSTEMS FOR CHEMICALS AND LOW TEMPERATURE CARGOES

This paper endeavours to illustrate the wide range of materials being used in the transportation of liquid gases and chemical cargoes by sea, with particular reference to those not directly associated with cargo tank construction, coatings and insulation which are the subject of other papers at this symposium. Particular examples of early problems are cited with reference to the more uncommon materials used and, in some cases, specifically developed. The author demonstrates that particularly in the case of chemical carriers, the choice of materials is not by any means based on an ideal, but rather on an economically acceptable compromise.
