Maximum Allowable Stress of Hastelloy C-276 at Elevated Temperatures
Hastelloy C-276 fittings manufactured to ASTM B366 Gr. N10276 can be furnished in either seamless or weld types. Its nominal composition is 54Ni-16Mo-15Cr and the fittings shall be solution annealed. The fittings can be used for a plurality of applications based on ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Codes. Generally, these applications can be classified into two conditions: Condition A & Condition B. Condition A refers to Hastelloy C-276 fittings used for ASME BPVC Section I, Section VIII Division 1, and Section XII. Condition B refers to Hastelloy C-276 seamless or welded fittings used for ASME BPVC Section VIII Division 2 respectively. The maximum allowable stress of ASTM B366 Gr. N10276 at elevated temperatures are listed in below 3 tables.
