Can SA-350 LF2 be used for Tubesheet?
(OP)
Dear Sir,
Our client specification states that SA-350 Gr.LF2 is NOT acceptable for tubesheet and flat channel covers. But I do not understand the basis of this statement. Can anyone explain?
Appreciate your expert advice.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe it is just a Client preference. Why not ask your Client? And kindly share in this forum if you get a reply.
For ASME VIII-1 code of construction, SA-350 Gr. LF2 can be used as tubesheet material. There's even an ASME interpretation about it...

If anyone has got an idea re the subject above, please share.
