CASES OF ASME BOILER AND PRESSURE VESSEL CODE N-253-14

Approval Date: September 18, 2006
The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Standards Committee took action to
eliminate Code Case expiration dates effective March 11, 2005. This means that
all Code Cases listed in this Supplement and beyond will remain available for
use until annulled by the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Standards Committee.
Case N-253-14 Reply: Rules for the construction of Section III, Divi-
Construction of Class 2 or Class 3 Components for sion 1, Class 2 or Class 3 components which are to
Elevated Temperature Service experience temperatures above those now provided for
Section III, Division 1 in Section III, Division 1, are under preparation by the
Committee. In the interim, it is the opinion of the Commit-
tee that such Class 2 or Class 3 components may be
constructed in accordance with the rules of Section III,
Inquiry: Under what rules may Section III, Division Division 1, with the following modifications.
1, Class 2 or Class 3 components be constructed when (a) The rules of this Case shall govern the design and
metal temperatures exceed those for which allowable material selection stages of construction;
stress values are given by Section III, Division 1? (b) The stamping and Data Report shall indicate the
Case number and the applicable revision.
The Committee’s function is to establish rules of safety, relating only to pressure integrity, governing the construction of boilers, pressure vessels, transport tanks
and nuclear components, and inservice inspection for pressure integrity of nuclear components and transport tanks, and to interpret these rules when questions arise
regarding their intent. This Code does not address other safety issues relating to the construction of boilers, pressure vessels, transport tanks and nuclear components,
and the inservice inspection of nuclear components and transport tanks. The user of the Code should refer to other pertinent codes, standards, laws, regulations or
other relevant documents.

(5) For external pressure charts see Table I-14.0 of Section III.
(6) For external pressure charts see Table F-14.3 of this Case.
(7) For service temperatures above 850°F for periods in excess of 1 hour, it is recommended that killed steels containing not less than 0.10 percent silicon by heat analysis be used.
Killed steels which have been deoxidized with large amounts of aluminum and rimmed steels may have creep and stress rupture properties, in the temperature range above 850°F,
which are somewhat less than those on which the values in the above Table are based.
(8) If cumulative service times (i.e., sum of event times during the entire service life) are expected to exceed one hour with concurrent temperatures above 800°F, then the problems
of corrosion and material transformation should be considered before selecting this alloy for the application. For example, the carbide phase of the carbon steel may be converted
to graphite (graphitization).
(9) Note (8) above applies to this alloy, except that the range of temperatures of concern begins at 875°F instead of 800°F.
(10) This material shall have a maximum specified room temperature ultimate strength of 85,000 psi and a minimum specified carbon content of 0.07%.
(11) The tensile requirements shall meet those for F-22A in Material Specification SA-336 instead of those for F22 in Specification SA-182.
(12) The material allowed under SA-234 shall correspond to one of:
SA-335, Grade P22
SA-387, Grade 22, Class 1
SA-182, Grade F22 in compliance with [Note (11)].
(13) The material shall be normalized at 1900°F–2000°F and tempered at 1350°F, minimum. The requirements for PWHT shall satisfy the rules in UCS-56 of Section VIII, Division
1. The material shall be considered P-No. 5B Group 2, except that the minimum holding temperature shall be 1300°F.
(14) For external pressure design, Fig. CS-3 of Section II, Part D shall be used.

NOTES:
(1) These values are established from a consideration of strength only and will be satisfactory for average service. For bolted joints, where freedom from leakage over a long period of
time without retightening is required, lower stress values may be necessary as determined from the relative flexibility of the flanges and bolts and concomitant relaxation properties.
(2) For temperatures above 1000°F, these stress values may be used only if the material is heat treated by heating it to a minimum temperature of 1900°F and quenching in water or
rapidly cooling by other means.
(3) At temperatures above 1000°F, these stress values apply only when the carbon content is 0.04% or higher.
(4) This material is solution-treated and precipitation-hardened. No welding is permitted.

(2) At Temperatures above 100°F, the allowable stress values may exceed 621⁄2% and may also reach 90% yield strength (0.2% offset) at
temperature. This may result in a permanent strain of as much as 0.1%. When this amount of deformation is not acceptable, the designer
should reduce the design stress to obtain an acceptable deformation. Table Y-2 of Section II, Part D lists multiplying factors which, when
applied to the yield strength values shown in Tables Y-1 and Y-2 of Section II, Part D will give an allowable stress that will result in
lower levels of permanent strain. These stress values are not recommended for flanges of gasketed joints or other applications where slight
amounts of distortion can cause leakage or malfunction.
(3) These S values do not include a weld efficiency factor. For materials welded without filler metal, ultrasonic examination in accordance
with NC-2550 or eddy current examination in accordance with NC-2550 shall provide a longitudinal weld efficiency factor of 1.00.
Materials (welded with filler metal) meeting the requirements of NC-2560 shall receive a weld efficiency factor of 1.00. Other weld
efficiency factors shall be in accordance with the following:

Butt, without Filler Material 0.85
Double Butt Weld 0.90

(4) For Class 3, these S values do not include a casting quality factor. Statically and centrifugally cast products meeting the requirements of

(7) At temperatures above 1000°F, these stress values apply only when the carbon content is 0.04% or higher.

(2) 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 662⁄3%, but not 90%, of the yield strength at temperature. Use of these
stresses may result in dimensional changes due to permanent strain. These stress values are not recommended for the flanges of gasketed joints or other applications where slight
