RE: Invar (Fe-36Ni) Piping - pressure/temperature design parameters
I will imagine you will have to contact Microtherm for this data. We used it but only at high temperatures. the have an office in the US. My data sheets don't go below 0°C.

Here is your standard at what seems to be a reasonable price.

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