A large amount of data on 5Cr-0.5Mo tubes was obtained from overseas sources. The stress rupture
database exceeded 500 test results, many lasting many years. Tensile data were also obtained but there
was significant scatter, especially at higher temperatures. Over 20 heats were evaluated with good
agreement with the current lines.

This alloy is seldom specified and has been deleted from several current ASTM specifications. Little data
could be found in the literature and the data were not considered statistically meaningful or suitable for
generating new curves. The plots shown are based on the previous API 530 curves for the alloy
converted to the format used in this document. They are not intended to represent any change in the
properties anticipated.

13.11 9Cr-1Mo
The data base compiled was confined to tubes produced overseas for heat exchangers as opposed to the
original database of domestic products that produced an unusually wide scatter band. The relatively
good oxidation resistance of the alloy permitted tests to very low stresses and a normal scatter band was
obtained from this analysis. Most of the data tracked API’s mean line but the resulting minimum (design)
lines are higher than the current lines at most temperatures. A second order polynomial was selected to
provide conservatism for extrapolation beyond the range of available data.

13.13 Type 304L Stainless Steel

Type 304L Stainless Steel – Very little rupture testing of 304L is intentionally carried out. MPC studied
many heats and found 304 produced with carbon content in the range of 0.04%. These were used as the
basis for estimating performance at the L grade level.

13.14 Type 304 & 304H Stainless Steel

Data was obtained from overseas sources. Only data on tubes were utilized since the data were
adequate for analysis. A total of 28 heats where studied of different manufacturing process and
producers. More than 450 results were included in the final data base. Materials could not be separated
and so 304 and 304H were lumped together. The resulting scatter band was less than the current curves
but the minimum was about the same.

Data analysis was performed on Type 316L to develop the Type 317L parameters, see paragraph 12.16.
In addition, the data indicates that the differences in the yield and ultimate tensile strength trend curves
are indistinguishable. Therefore, the material parameters developed for Type 317L are used for Type
316L.

13.16 Type 316 & 316H Stainless Steel

Over 700 data points were included in the final set, mainly on tubular products. Other product forms were
included to obtain results at over 1500F (low stresses). The data were all from foreign sources. The
tensile trends were remarkably similar to the current trends, when the different room temperature index
values were considered. Some heats showed poor stress rupture behavior. These aspects are being
studied further. However, the design values are very similar to those used now where the curves are
supported by data.

There are very little data available on Type 317L. Thus far only a few test results were found, some were
incomplete and relatively short. However, a database of modern low carbon Type 316 was compiled from
Japan. This is far larger than anything Smith had to work with. MPC heat centered procedures enable
indexing on the limited 317L data and adjusting to provide a better estimate of low carbon material
performance. These heats should have increased nitrogen levels.

13.18 Type 321 Stainless Steel

Only 321 tube data conforming to modern specifications, but not classified as 321H by the foreign
suppliers was used. The average stress rupture strength found is in reasonable agreement with Smith's
original analyses for MPC that provided the values used by API 530 for this material. However, the
variance was much smaller in the current work. It is believed that Smith included products that did not
conform to today's specifications. Therefore the minimum strength is a more reasonable (higher) fraction
of the average. Failure to assure proper heat treatment and composition can lead to unsatisfactory
performance.

13.19 Type 321H Stainless Steel

The data collection focused on tubular products. The yield strength data found were scattered, as is often
the case for products heat treated to high temperatures, rapidly cooled and then straightened. Statistical
analysis of yield strengths revealed a weak temperature correlation, best described by a straight line.
The stress rupture data displayed less scatter than the API 530 plot for this alloy probably because of
greater attention to conformance of the materials to the H grade requirements. The average behavior
was substantially unchanged, but the minimum was elevated. Most data were obtained for material
produced by modern processes in Japan.

13.22 Alloy 800

The data chosen for this class of material excluded results from heats that do not take advantage of the
heat treating and compositional controls imposed to obtain the 800H and 800HT grades. These include
controls on aluminum, titanium, and carbon contents, grain size and annealing temperatures. Such
unrestricted material is not usually used for creep service and the data base is relatively small. The very
high temperatures permitted for 800H and 800HT cannot be recommended with confidence.

13.23 Alloy 800H

Yield and ultimate tensile strength data were obtained for tubular products of Alloy 800H. The stress
rupture data shown represent a broad international database generally in conformance with prior
estimates. Some of the test results captured here are from tests lasting in excess of 100,000 hours.

13.24 Alloy 800HT

MPC combined the original database used in setting the control limits that defined the 800HT class of
material with more recent data on tubular products from overseas sources. Some results on the newer
products were for tests that lasted beyond 30,000 hours at low stresses and very high temperatures. As
a result the parameter curve is well defined. It should be noted that the improvement for 800HT versus
800H is not expected to be very large at intermediate temperatures and disappears at very high
temperatures due to the redissolving of carbides and strengthening nickel-aluminum-titanium compounds.

13.25 HK-40
Elevated temperature yield and ultimate tensile strength values were obtained for the high carbon content
HK 40 castings. The strength properties found varied, but the trend shown was strongly indicative of an
increase in yield strength in the 1200-1300˚F range due to precipitation at those temperatures. The
extent of the increase in yield strength is not easily displayed by the smooth curve of the polynomial used
to display the properties. The large database collected shows lower minimums than the existing API 530
curves.
