MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE NON-SHOCK PRESSURE PSIG

Ratings apply to NPS Yz trough NPS 24 and to materials:

A 105 (1) A 350 Gr. LF2 (1) A 350 Gr. LF6 CL (1)
(4)A216Gr.WCB(l)
A 515 Gr. 70 (1) A 516 Gr. 70 (1) (2) A 537 CL (1)
(3)

NOTES:
( 1) Permissible but not recommended for prolonged use above 800
°F.
(2) Not to be used over 850 °F.
(3) Not to be used over 700 °F.
(4) Not to be used over 500 °F.

For other pressure-temperature ratings see Code UG-1 l(a)(2)

Ratings are maximum allowable non-shock working pressures expressed as gage
pres• sure, at the tabulated temperatures and may be interpolated between
temperatures shown.
Temperatures are those on the inside of the pressure-containing shell of the flange. In
general, it is the same as that of the contained
material. Flanged fittings shall be hydrostatically
tested.
