NOTE:
(1) Due to the relatively low yield strength of these materials, these
higher stress values were established at temperatures where the
short time tensile properties govern to permit the use of these
alloys where slightly greater deformation is acceptable. These
higher stress values exceed 67% but do not exceed 9 0 % of the
yield strength a t temperature. Use of thesestressesmay result
in dimensional changesdue t o permanent strain. Thesestress
values are not recommended for the flanges of the gasketed joints
or other applications where slight amounts of distortioncan cause
leakage or malfunction.

NOTES:
(1) Alloy 625 suffers severe loss of impact strength after longtime aging in the temperature range 1000F-14000F.
(2) These stress values may be interpolated to determine values for intermediate temperatures.
(3) Allowable stresses are based on 110,000 psi tensile strength, the minimum strength for annealed material (Grade 1).
(4) Allowable stresses are based on 100,000 psi tensile strength, the minimum strength for solution annealed material (Grade 2).
