GENERAL NOTE: When using this stress basis criterion to determine the allowable stresses for a specific material as a function of tempera-
ture, the derived allowable stress at a higher temperature can never be greater than the derived allowable stress at a lower temperature.
NOTE:
(1) These higher stress values were established at temperatures where the short-time tensile properties govern, to permit the use of these
materials where slightly greater deformation is acceptable. The stress values in this range exceed 662/3% but do not exceed 90% of the
yield strength at temperature. These stress values are not recommended for the flanges of gasketed joints or other applications where
slight amounts of distortion can cause leakage or malfunction. Table Y-2 lists multiplying factors that, when applied to the yield strength
values shown in Table Y-1, will give allowable stresses that will result in lower values of permanent strain.
