    Change A479 with A276 for pressure application

    Thank-you metengr for your input. It clarifies a few things for me. However from the manufacturer of barstock and incomming quality (for machined products) points of view, what is the difference b/w making barstocks to either standard... are they both not hot or cold rolled products?

    Change A479 with A276 for pressure application

    I was wondering if I could change Change A479 with A276 for pressure application (for SS316L material)? I have been told that A479 is suited for B&PV application and A276 for structural application. Could some one shed light on this topic? Regards, bssem

    Using bar stock to make pressure vessel flanges

    Thank-you metengr, WOW.. does it mean that we could use barstock per SA 479 when we specify SA 182 on our flanges? bssem

    Using bar stock to make pressure vessel flanges

    Can bar stock material (per ASME sec. II - say SS316L per ASME A 479) be used to make flanges in pressure vessels per ASME B&PV std.? I have notes in ANSI B16.5 that only Forgings / Castings & Plate Stock is Permitted. Pl. Comment. Thank-you in advance for your suggestions. bssem

    European Equivalence to SS316L or ASME/EN Dual Rated Material

    For manufacture of a custom flange for pressure application I was looking for European equivalence to SS316L plate stock (per ASME A 240). My major concern for the equivalency is chemical composition. Can someone suggest me a European equivalent to SS316L plate stock (per ASME A 240)...

    Centering for welding issue

    Thank-you All for your feedback. BillPSU you are correct with your assumption that we are doing a circular weld around circumference of the part. The dimension of the bore is 0.339 with tolarence of +/- 0.8 thousandth of an inch. As you have said the welding is dependant on many variables, will...

    Centering for welding issue

    I need to TIG weld two machined (cylindrical) SS316L parts. Both parts have a identical central bore which has to be perfectly alligned after welding. I have considered using various centering features and clamping options but was unable to get the allignment of the central bore after welding...

    Effect of Surface finish on Corrosion Resistance of SS316L

    We are OEM suppliers of instrumentation. There has been a debate on the effect of surface finish on the corrosion resistance of a given material (SS 316L) in given corrosive environment (acids or high chlorides). Can someone pl. guide me if any such studies have been done to prove that - an as...
