DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR STAINLESS STEEL IN PIPING SYSTEMS
Sulfuric acid Type 304 can be used at room temperature for concentrations over 80 . Type 316 can be used in contact with sulfuric acid up to 10 at termpera- tures up to 120ºF (50ºC) if the solutions are aerated the attack is greater in airfree solutions. Type 317 may be used at temperatures as high as 150ºF (65ºC) with up to 5 concentration.
