Stainless Steel Design Information 1

[profplan]

I am designing tubes/pipes, angles & I-beam shapes for use in waste-water tanks. I am using 316L stainless steel, A269/312 and A276. My questions are:
1. Where can I find a design guide, section properties, stresses for design of stainless steel, or similar information.
2. I have been told the yield strength (or perhaps, allowable stress) is 25 ksi, based on yield strengths found on

http://www.ssina.com;

Stainless Steel Industry of N. America. Is Allowable Stress design using AISC, for structural (carbon) steel, acceptable if there is no code or design guide?


Thanks in advance.
