Plate lining
Metal plates that are welded to the inside of the pressure vessel wall. Normally, plates are of a more corrosion resistant or erosion resistant alloy than the vessel wall and provide additional corrosion/erosion resistance. In some instances, plates of a material of construction similar to the vessel wall are used for specific operating periods where corrosion and/or erosion rates are predictable.
