Large process vessels operating under extreme temperature and pressure conditions are normally clad/ lined with materials like stainless steel, aluminium, nickel & its alloys, copper & its alloys and titanium. The cladding thickness is generally about ______________ percent of the total thickness?
Correct answer: B. 10 to 20
- A. 1 to 5
- B. 10 to 20
- C. 30 to 40
- D. 40 to 50
