RE: Invar (Fe-36Ni) Piping - pressure/temperature design parameters

To LSThill,
While searching for something else, came across reference to Invar36.  It is older info and probably has more recent ASTM data.  Originally product of Carpenter Tech, UNS K93601 to ASTM A-333. UTS= 65 ksi, SY= 40 ksi E=20.5E6 psi elongation 35% density 0.291 lb/in3, thermal conductivity 6.05 Btu/ft-hr-degF.  There was also info for modified INVAR36 (with 3% Mn, 1% Ti) to proposed ASTM A-334 .
There was not a B31 Code allowable for Invar36, so you might have to set your own SA.  Is there a particular application for the Invar36 in cryogenic service, or is it for a system of components ?

·        ASME B16.5-2003 Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings NPS ½ Through NPS 24 Metric/Inch Standard, An American National Standard


Scope:    NEW ASME CODE CASE  so the material property and stress range can be included:

·        ASME B31.3 PROCESS PIPING - ASME CODE FOR PRESSURE PIPING, B31 An American National Standard

TABLE A-1 (CONT'D)

BASIC ALLOWABLE STRESSES I N TENSION FOR METALS1

Numbers in Parentheses Refer to Notes for Appendix A Tables; Specifications Are ASTM Unless Otherwise Indicated

·        ASME B16.5 Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings NPS ½ Through NPS 24 Metric/Inch Standard, An American National Standard

Table 1A List of Material Specifications

 

Attention:  Production Engineering Sect. LNG Technology Team
