Barred Tee machined with A694 or A234?
Barred Tee machined with A694 or A234?
(OP)
Thank your enlightening me in advance. I am taking part in a project on the detailed design stage. With regard to the material for Barred Tee, in the owner's specification the material is A694 F65, but in my opinion the A234 Gr.WPB is sufficient to the condition due to the pipeline is A106 Gr.B. Can you help me to prove that the A234 Gr.WPB is available rather than A694 F65?

The only help I could think of to bolster your argument for using SA-234 WPB versus A-694 is that the Table of materials in Appendix A of B31.3 lists SA-234 with published allowable stress values. ASTM A-694 is unlisted but could be used; however, you would need to establish the allowable stress values for this application.

In the other hand, the allowable stress difference of SA-694 and API5L Gr.B is so lager that it maybe need to be heat treatment after welding to reduce stress. Since the allowable stress of SA-234 WPB is same as API5L Gr.B, in this case it is no need to do heat treatment. Is my point is correct or not?
