A106 Grade C and A234 WPC Availability
A106 Grade C and A234 WPC Availability
(OP)
Hey,
I've been given the task of designing a small carbon steel pressure vessel for high pressure (6000psi). I've done my calcs, and A106 Grade B at sch XXS (after 12.5% under tolerance) can only take approximately 5850psi.
I'm going through my options, and A106 Grade C with its higher allowable stress could do the job.
Question, I'm used to using A106 Grade B, is A106 Grade C at all available? Also I'd be looking for matching pipe caps from A234 WPC, is this material at all available?
Thank you,
Marty

Spoonful - yep, we're taking a look at these also. We're building to ASME B31.3, so these are listed and could easily do the job.
SNORGY - perfect, just what I was looking for. Just wanted to know it actually exists somewhere outside of a textbook.
Thanks everyone!
