This standard provides guidelines that assist in specification writing for handling and installing nickel-based alloy, stainless steel, and titanium linings in air pollution control equipment (e.g., flue gas desulfurization [FGD] systems, ducts, and stacks). It Includes information on materials, design, delivery, storage, and handling, as well as substrate preparation and installation, and detailed information on welding, welder performance qualifications, inspection, and repair.

This standard is intended for use by those specifying and installing thin metallic linings (nickel alloy, stainless steel, and titanium) in air pollution control and other process equipment subject to corrosive conditions.
