Re: condensate line

Hello:
I would have concerns about why there is erosion. What is your velocity? And also pressure and temperature - are you in an area where you could have local cavitation? Coming from a reboiler, is it possible you can have any particulates that are being carried, and eroding the elbows when you change direction? There are a lot of questions to answer to eliminate the problem, rather than trying to change materials to live with it.
