Material manufacturers indeed often work with dual certified stainless steels 304L/304 (also 316L/), which is allowed.
This means:
- a maximum carbon content of 0.03% --> limited by 304L, interesting for welding
- Tensile/yield test results --> limited by 304, interesting for calculations...
jp1989,
Paddle blind is a half spectacle, the full ring part. Advantages: less weight to handle and less space needed to install (so for the bigger sizes).
For calculation of thicknesses I also refer to formula in ASME B31.3.
Remark: corrosion allowance can be added on one or two sides of...
OffRoad10,
Tensile or yield strenght values are material properties, they are detemined by test (not by calculations). In general they are available in the material standard (European materials), for American materials most of these values can be found in ASTM standards or ASME II tables.
Which...
Hello my friends,
In front of me a specification which specifies hardness test on SS321 after welding (in the heat affected zone after heat treatment). In general the specification specifies extra requirements on SS321 to prevent (intergranulair and stress) corrosion in a Polythionacid or other...
