Temperature Limit for 316 Stainless Steel
Temperature Limit for 316 Stainless Steel
(OP)
Can anyone tell me if there are any issues in designing/fabricating pressure equipment (small vessels and piping items) using stainless steel 316 (not 316L) for the following:-
The mechanical codes are either ASME VIII div1 or ASME B16.3.
Design Temps: Two Options a)538 Deg. C. b) 590 Deg. C
Fluid passing thro' the equipment is steam only.
Thanks in advance.
