AISI 310 for high temperature
AISI 310 for high temperature
(OP)
Hello,
We have a pressure vessel for a project that is working at low pressure (between - 0.3 bar and 0.1 bar) but at high temperature (design temperature is 1050 °C).
We have choosen the AISI 310 but vessel manufacturer can only design at max 800°C (with ASME VIII).
1/ Do you think this stainless stell is OK at these conditions
2/ Which code do we have to choose for the design (no U-stamp required)
3/ Where can we find data about this stainless steel at this temperature.
4/ What kind of economical stainless steels are used for high temperature applications
Thanks for all your replies.
Regards.

RE: AISI 310 for high temperature
You may be better off with a low alloy with refractory lining which gives you a lower shell temperature.
You can design using ASME Div 1.
RE: AISI 310 for high temperature
I know that ASME code tables show some material allowables at around that temperature, however the atmosphere in the vessel is very important factor to deal as Mike mentioned.
You are looking for economy for the material as well. My approach to this kind application is to start with the isolation of the temperature/atmosphere at the source. The rest becomes very easy, and similar to the ordinary applications, and some other related problems disappear, such as attachment of vessel supports and their design issues.

Salanty could you give more details/explanations about your way of working. I am not sure to understand what you mean.
RE: AISI 310 for high temperature
Agree with the other responders, refractory lined carbon steel is better choice.
