SS 316/304 is permitted up to 825 C by ASME section VIII div I
SS 316/304 is permitted up to 825 C by ASME section VIII div I
(OP)
ASME section VIII division I allows SS 316 and SS 304 up to 825C. These steels get sensitized at temperatures between 420-850C, so why the standard allows use of these material at these temperatures?
At the same time for L grades max. allowed temperatures (316L-475C &304L-650C)are lesser.
Thanks in advance.
