316 & 316L
(OP)
Anybody tell me why ASME II-D recommended for 316 Stainless Steel maximum temperature 1500F whereas for 316L 850F although 316L is superior quality. Only difference of these two type of steel are carbon content (.08 & .03 Max).

The increased C content improves high temperature creep resistance.
