Hello,

I need an information about is using SA 240 310 suitable at 788 degree celsius or do we have use SA 240 310 H because of temperature?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Used for?

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand

Your design code will most probably tell you this. Since you mentioned SA240, I assume your work is under one of the ASME BPV Sections, correct?
If true, have you looked up the applicable material notes (G, H, S, T and W) in section II-D?
Perhaps both 310 and 310H are possible, but one with restrictions, making it more appropriate to use the H-grade (thats what weve found over the years with similar materials).

If not, please tell us your applicable design code.

Section II-D can give some guidance in terms of allowables, but your very high operating temperature makes it a true high-temperature application, pointing to selecting H-grade material.
