Case 2058
SA-789, UNS S32304, With Higher Tensile
Requirements
Section VIII, Division 1
Inquiry: Under what conditions may tubing with
an outside diameter (O.D.) not exceeding 1 in. and
conforming to Specication SA-789, UNS S32304,
except with minimum yield strength of 65 ksi and
minimum tensile strength of 100 ksi, be used in welded
construction under the rules of Section VIII, Division 1?
Reply: It is the opinion of the Committee that the
material described in the Inquiry may be used in the
construction of welded pressure vessels conforming to
the rules of Section VIII, Division 1, subject to the
following requirements.
(a) Except for the minimum yield strength and the
minimum tensile strength, the material shall conform
to all the requirements of SA-789, UNS S32304.
(b) The maximum nominal outside diameter of the
tubes shall not exceed 1 in. and the maximum nominal
wall thickness shall not exceed 0.125 in.

NOTES:
(1) This material may be expected to exhibit embrittlement at room
temperature after service at moderately elevated temperatures.
See UHA-109.
(2) A joint efciency factor of 0.85 has been applied to the stress
values of the welded tubing.
(c) The maximum allowable design stress values in
tension shall be those listed in Table 1.
(d) All other requirements pertaining to SA-789, UNS
S32304, shall apply.
(e) This Case number shall be shown on the material
certicates and the Manufacturers Data Report.
