Is it accepted to fabricated a tubesheet from casting, for example: SB-369-96400 instead of plate SB-171-71500?

Thanks in advance

Per Section II-B, the only acceptable UNS number is 96200, but yes, castings can be used per Section VIII-1 UG-7.

Weldability is a concern with some alloys. Check with the appropriate material standard to see if special precautions need to be taken.
 
LCeballos, assuming you ARE working to Sec VIII, Div 1, you should also review Part UNF.

Regards,

Mike
