What is the difference between ASTM A387 grade 9 class 1 and class 2. Is it only in tensile properties? Class 2 is having higher tensile strength, does that mean it is having finer grains and less creep strength(Operating temperature 500 C) compared to class 1?
Thanks in advance

 
Yes, it is the minimum tensile properties below from Tables 2 and 3 based on heat treatment specified.


Class 1 60-85 Ksi UTS, 30 Ksi YS
Class 2 75-100 Ksi UTS, 45 Ksi YS

 
I would suggest that you look at ASME SA387, and then look in Sec II at the allowed stress at various temperatures.
This will answer your question.

The creep strength of Class 2 is no different from Class 1 at or above 900 deg F. Both alloys respond the same to time dependent behavior (creep or stress rupture), which is why tensile properties govern below
900 deg F.
