Division 1 Material Notes for Table 1B: Back to Top

(a)

The following abbreviations are used: ann., annealed; Applic., Applicability; Cond., Condition; cond., condenser; Desig., Designation; exch., exchanger; extr., extruded; fin., finished; fr., from; rel., relieved; rld., rolled; Smls., Seamless; Sol., Solution; treat., treated; and Wld., Welded.

(b)

The stress values in this Table may be interpolated to determine values for intermediate temperatures.

(c)

When used for Section III Class MC design, the stress values listed herein shall be multiplied by a factor of 1.1 (NE-3112.4); these values shall be considered as design stress intensities or allowable stress values as required by NE-3200 or NE-3300, respectively.

(d)

For Section VIII applications, stress values in restricted shear, such as dowel bolts, rivets, or similar construction in which the shearing is so restricted that the section under consideration would fail without reduction of areas, shall be 0.80 times the values in this table.

(e)

For Section VIII applications, stress values in bearing shall be 1.60 times the values in this Table.

G1

For steam at 250 psi (406F), the values given for 400F may be used.

G2

At temperatures over 1000F, these stress values apply only when the carbon is 0.04% or higher.

G3

In the absence of evidence that the casting is of high quality throughout, values not in excess of 80% of those given in the Table shall be used. This is not intended to apply to valves and fittings made to recognized standards.

G4

For Section I applications, this material may not be used for parts of firetube boilers under external pressure.

G5

Due to the relatively low yield strength of these materials, these higher stress values were established at temperatures where the short time tensile properties govern to permit the use of these alloys where slightly greater deformation is acceptable. The stress values in this range exceed 66 2/3 % but do not exceed 90% of the yield strength at temperature. Use of these stresses may results in dimensional changes due to permanent strain. These stress values are not recommended for the flanges of gasketed joints or other applications where slight amounts of distortion can cause leakage or malfunction. Table Y-2 lists multiplying factors which, when applied to the yield strength values shown in table Y-1, will give allowable stress values that will result in lower values of permanent strain.

G6

Maximum temperature for external pressure not to exceed 350F.

G7

Use 350F curve for all temperature values below 350F.

G8

Use Fig. NFC-3 for temperatures above 300F up to and including 400F.

G9

Use Fig. NFC-4 up to and including 350F. Use the 600F curve of Fig. NFC-3 above 350F up to and including 400F. Maximum temperature for external pressure not to exceed 400F.

G10

Maximum temperature for external pressure not to exceed 450F.

G11

Referenced external pressure chart is applicable up to 700F.

G12

Referenced external pressure chart is applicable up to 800F.

G13

For Section VIII applications, use of external pressure charts for material in the form of barstock is permitted for stiffening rings only.

G14

A factor of 0.85 has been applied in arriving at the maximum allowable stress values in tension for this material. Divide tabulated values by 0.85 for maximum allowable longitudinal tensile stress.

G15

To these stress values a quality factor as specified in Section III, ND-3115 or UG-24 of Section VIII, Division 1 shall be applied for castings. This is not intended to apply to valves and fittings made to recognized standards.

G16

Allowable stress values shown are 90% of those for the corresponding core material.

G17

Copper-silicon alloys are not always suitable when exposed to certain media and high temperatures, particularly steam above 212F. The user should ensure that the alloy selected is satisfactory for the service for which it is to be used.

G18

Because of the occasionally contingent danger from the failure of pressure vessels by stress corrosion cracking, the following is pertinent. These materials are suitable for engineering use under a wide variety of ordinary corrosive conditions with no

particular hazard in respect to stress corrosion.

G19

Few alloys are completely immune to stress corrosion cracking in all combinations of stress and corrosive environments and the supplier of the material should be consulted. Reference may also be made to the following sources: (1) Stress Corrosion Cracking Control Measures B.F. Brown, U.S. National Bureau of Standards (1977), available from NACE, Texas; (2) The Stress Corrosion of Metals, H.L. Logan, John Wiley and Sons, New York, 1966.

G20

For plate only.

G21

The maximum operating temperature is arbitrarily set at 500F because harder temper adversely affects design stress in the creep rupture temperature range.

G22

The minimum tensile strength of reduced tension specimens in accordance with QW-462.1 of Section IX shall not be less than 110,000 psi.

G23

Alloy N06625 in the annealed condition is subject to severe loss of impact strength at room temperatures after exposure in the range of 1000F to 1400F.

G24

For stress relieved tempers (T351, T3510, T3511, T451, T4510, T4511, T651, T6510, T6511), stress values for materials in the basic temper shall be used.

G25

The tension test specimen from plate 0.500 in. and thicker is machined from the core and does not include the cladding alloy; therefore, the allowable stress values for thickness less than 0.500 in. shall be used.

G26

The tension test specimen from plate 0.500 in. and thicker is machined from the core and does not include the cladding alloy; therefore, the allowable stress values shown are 90% of those for the core material of the same thickness.

G27

Alloy N06022 in the solution annealed condition is subject to severe loss of impact strength at room temperatures after exposure in the range of 1000F to 1250F.

G28

For external pressure design, the maximum design temperature is limited to 1000F.

G29

Creep-fatigue, thermal ratcheting, and environmental effects are increasingly significant failure modes at temperatures in excess of 1500F and shall be considered in the design.

H2

For temperatures above 1000F, these stress values may be used only if the material is heat treated by heating it to a minimum temperature of 1900F and quenching in water or rapidly cooling by other means.
