Hi Jun,
I do agree with you.
best regrads
From the previous post.
... use of SS316L .. for sea water application.
And SS316L is not similar nor equivalent to "enhanced super stainless steel" UNS N08367. Not only that, the test covered by the alleghenytechnology is more of a tube that a large bore dia pipe normally use in heavy industry for cooling service. Considering cost, availability of material and duration of fab/installation for large LSTK project - my preference will be "plastic" pipe rather than the exotic for sea water application.
Following is NACE article on Stainless Steel Materials for Seawater Application

Re: [PipingDesign] Re: Seawater cooling for power plant
Use of SS316L and GRP for seawater service is also in practice. There is also an improvement of applying a Specail (paint) Coating inside on SS316L for an extended life where seawater flow disturbances occur such
as downstream of valves.

Re: [PipingDesign] Re: Seawater cooling for power plant
Hi JUn,
stainless could be duplex (22 Cr%,...) or super duplex (25%) and that was
the intent. These two grades are used extensively in subsea or marine
enviornment.
Cheers!
Stainless steel pipe material for sea water service?? Not in our plant.
Cupro-nickel material may be OK for US Navy application but in process/power plants where the coolant header (sea water service) is about 108 " NPS size - well you might have to rethink the economics of utilizing such material.
