The selection of materials for pressure vessels and chemical plants depends on a number of factors such as operating pressure, operating temperature, operating medium, regulations in force in the country of the plant user concerned and manufacturing possibilities. The essay clearly explains how the above specified factors individually influence the selection of materials. The article also deals with the ranges of application of certain material groups such as unalloyed and low‐alloy steels, fine‐grained steels, austenitic chromium‐nickel steels, unalloyed ferritic chromium steels and other materials. The article closes with remarks on the operational safety of pressure vessels.
