B16 Case 5
Nickel Alloy UNS N06230
ASTM B564 N06230 (ASME B16.34 Material Group 3.19)
Ni-22Cr-14W-2Mo-La Material
ASME B16.34 Valves

Inquiry: Is there an acceptable alternative method for the Pressure-Temperature rating

of Standard, Special, Limited and Intermediate Class ASME B16.34 welding-end valves
constructed of high strength/high temperature ASTM B564 nickel alloy (N06230)
forging material (B16.34 Material Group 3.19) conforming to the chemical requirements
shown in Tables 1, the mechanical properties listed in Tables 2, and otherwise
conforming to the requirements in the specification listed in Table 3 and in this Case?

Reply:
These valves may be pressure-temperature rated as described in this Case provided the
following additional requirements are met:
(a) The construction rules of B16.34 apply except for the Appendix B pressure
temperature rating ceiling pressures noted in (b).
(b) The ceiling pressures for the temperature range -20°F to 1000°F (-29°C to 538°C)
shall be those as listed in ASME B16 Case 1. For temperatures greater than
1000°F (538C) the allowable stress of the N06230 material, Table 4 or Table 4M
shall be used for pressure-temperature rating development. For temperatures
1000°F (538°C) and less the strength values of Tables 5, 5M, 6, and 6M have
been used for pressure-temperature rating development.
(c) The pressure-temperature ratings for valves constructed from N06230 material
shall be in accordance with Tables 7 & 8 (U.S. Customary psig units) and Tables 9
& 10 (metric bar units).
(d) Service temperature for the valves constructed using N06230 material shall not
exceed 1500°F (815°C).
(e) Seals, packing and pressure-retaining bolting shall be acceptable for the
maximum service temperature 1500F (815C) expected for valves constructed
under this Case.
(f) This Case number shall be included in the marking of the valve and including on
the Material Test Report.
