Im doing some calcs for a thermowell at high pressure and temperature. Material is UNS N06600 at 550 °C design. Using para 304.1.3, I run into the issue that I cant determine Pa2 since (b) requires me to calculate 90% of yield for N06600 acc. ASME II-D table Y-1. Table Y-1 ends at 500 °C for N06600 (or at 525 °C for certain ASTM specs). I believe some time ago this question was asked here as well, but I cant remember the outcome. Any ideas?

You can use the yield vs temp curve in API 579-1/ASME FFS-1. At that temp, are you into creep? If so, you should be using isochronous curves.

Thanks. Acc II-D, time dependent properties start at 480-510 °C for UNS N06600 (notes T11-T12). The calcualtions Im doing are performed more often, for other materials as well, quite often beyond 550 °C. II-D doesnt list yield strengths for any material beyond 550 °C, so the quesiton is broader. Where in API 579-1 do I need to look, F.7.4?

2E.2. Make sure to be using the 2016 Edition.

Depending on the length of time at that temperature, the tangent modulus for creep can be much much less than the short-term elastic modulus. Even if the design temperature is in the creep regime, double-check the operating temperature. If it's not in creep, then your usual method should be fine.

Thanks. The operating temperature is non-creep indeed.

Another issue I quite often have with ASME VIII-1 for thermowell calcs, is that the L/D is far greater than 50. More in the range of 500. UG-28 doesnt specify any caution for such extreme values of L/D; would there be any?

Anyone who can offer advice on the L/D>>50 issue? Is any caution requires re the use of the rules in VIII-1 when L/D is approx. 500?
