1. 9013 - Stainless steels for machining
Discusses selection of stainless steels from process equipment in ammonia production plants. Contains 22
diagrams, charts, and tables illustrating a typical ammonia production process, and provides technical data
on 18 stainless steels that might be used for construction materials. Also covers materials for
desulphurization, catalytic steam reforming, carbon monoxide shift, carbon dioxide removal, methanation,
synthesis, and turbine-driven centrifugal compression trains. Provides data on the candidate stainless
steels.

3. 10087 - Stainless steel for potable water treatment plants
By R.E. Avery, S. Lamb, C.A. Powell and A.H. Tuthill. Types 304L and 316L welded stainless steel piping has
been successfully used in over 100 PWTPs and related potable water applications in North America. The
principal reason to use stainless steel is its outstanding resistance to contaminate potable water with metal
ions. Stainless steel has been used since 1965 for the large, central-control, gravity filter in water
treatment plants with good performance in over 75 installations.

7. 12013 - SUCCESSFUL USE OF STAINLESS STEEL BUILDING MATERIALS
(1998)
Published by Japan Stainless Steel Association and the Nickel Institute, December 1998. The durability and
diversity of surface finishes on stainless steel are essential attributes for building materials in modern
architecture. Stainless steel is used in a wide variety of applications ranging from facades and roofs
covering spacious convention halls to street furniture and sculptures. Such stainless steel structures impart
a rich and distinctive atmosphere to townscapes. In architectural applications, S30400 and S31600 stainless
steels have been most commonly used. In addition to these steels, many grades with improved corrosion
resistance have been developed and put into practical use. A proper cleaning and maintenance routine is also
essential to retain the beauty of stainless steel building materials.

8. 12004 - Answers for architects who design for beauty, performance, utility and
prestige with nickel stainless steel
Produced by the Nickel Institute on behalf of members of the European Stainless Steel Development and
Information Group, 1988. Although available in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish editions, unless
a specific language is requested, it will be presumed that English is preferred. Architects and engineers
taking advantage of nickel containing stainless steel's unique combination of properties have found it to be
a versatile material, eminently suited for numerous building and constructional applications. Many of these
uses are covered in text and color photographs from around the world and include building faundefinedades,
roofing, windows and doors, entrances, street furniture, interiors, general applications and sculptures.

10. 12010 - Stainless steel in swimming pool buildings
Prepared by the Nickel Institute, in association with the Sports Council, Stainless Steel Advisory Centre,
Building Research Establishment, Institute of Sport Recreation Management, and Pool Water Treatment Advisory
Group, 1995. Stainless steels are well established as corrosion resistant materials for many items used in
building and equipping swimming pools. For decades, stainless steels have had an excellent track
record-typically specified for equipment in the pool water (ladders, wave machine grilles, etc.), and in
environmental engineering plant control boxes, air handling equipment, fire dampers, etc. This guide gives
practical advice on the successful use of stainless steel. It is aimed at architects, designers, builders and
pool managers.
