2. Applicability and Max. Temperature Limits
According to ASME BPVC Section II Part D, Monel 400 is not applicable to the construction of power boilers(ASME BPVC Section I). It is mainly used for construction of nuclear facility components(ASME BPVC Section III), construction of pressure vessels(ASME BPVC Section VIII, Division 1), and transport tanks(ASME BPVC Section XII). The max. temperature limits are listed in below table.
