Stainless 304 & 304L Yield
Stainless 304 & 304L Yield
(OP)
ASTM A240 lists the yield as 30 ksi and 25 ksi respectively. An old Ryerson book lists the yields as 35 ksi and 30 ksi respectively. I am thinking that perhaps Ryerson was producing a higher grade but we should be using the lower numbers in our design since we don't know ultimately who the supplier will be.
Any comment?

I got my yield strengths out of the ASTM A240 spec (2001). Which one is correct?

You may also consider A240-UNS S32101 LDX2101 (2101 lean duplex). Similar in cost to 304 but with significantly higher mechanical properties, closer thermal expansion coefficient to that of carbon steel, better stress corrosion cracking resistance than 304/304L. It may or may not be a good fit for your application but is worth looking into.
