ASTM A335 P11 Allowable Stress – Temperature Ratings

Piping materials of ASTM A335 P11 can be used in both process piping and power piping services. The correlation between its allowable stress and temperature must be considered. Usually, the basic allowable stress descends as the working temperature ascends. This relationship is dictated ans specified by ASME B31.1 and ASME B31.3 respectively both of which are ASME code for pressure piping. ASME B31.1 is the standard specification for power piping while ASME B31.3 is the standard specification for process piping. Generally, ASME B31.1 imposes more rigorous constraints on the limits of allowable stresses and temperatures of A335 P11 materials than ASME B31.3.
