Babjak1 a great post...thank you for all the effort and research. Looks like the stainless pipeline solution is already available. However Canadian stainless would be great. I'm sure KVA from California would rather also buy their stainless from Canada.

The introduction of KVA Martensitic Stainless Steel for the transport, oil and gas pipelines is ideally suited for mildly corrosive, abrasive media applications such as:
- Oil sands
- Slurry pipelines
- Coal transport
The abrasion resistance of hardened KVA martensitic stainless steel tube and pipe is unmatched – maximizing durability, reliability and reducing erosion-corrosion failures. KVA Martensitic stainless steel tubing and pipe can be produced with chromium content ranging from 11.5wt% to 16wt%, maximizing production and service life while minimizing cost.
