Inquiry: May aluminum alloy A356.0 sand castings in the T6 temper meeting the chemical composition and mechanical properties given in Tables 1 and 2 and other requirements ofASTM B 26/B 26M-97 be used in Section IV, Part HC, construction of heating boilers
Reply: It is the opinion ofthe committee that aluminum alloy A356.0 sand castings in the T6 temper meeting the chemical composition and mechanical properties given in Tables 1 and 2 and other requirements of ASTM B 26/B 26M-97 may be used in Section IV, Part HC, construction of heating boilers, under the following conditions:
(a) No welding is permitted.
(b) In lieu of Section IV, HC-200 through HC-213, all applicable requirements of ASTM B 26/B 26M-97 and Tables 1 and 2 of this Case shall apply. The footnotes applicable to Tables 1 and 2 of ASTM B 26/B 26M-97 apply to Tables 1 and 2 of this Case.
(c) Maximum water temperature shall be 200°F (95°C).
(d) All other applicable parts of Section IV shall apply except except HC-401 and HC-402. In lieu of procedures of HC-410, the assembled boiler may be hydrostatically tested at 2 1 ⁄ 2 times the maximum allowable working pres- sure, provided the test pressure does not exceed 1 1 ⁄ 2 times the design pressure of the next limiting part. If 2 1 ⁄ 2 times hydro exceeds 1 1 ⁄ 2 times the design pressure of any part of the completed vessel, then the 2 1 ⁄ 2 times test is only per- formed on the casting, and the assembled boiler must be tested at 1 1 ⁄ 2 .
(e) Prooftesting to establish design pressure is required and shall comply with HG-501 and HG-502.3, except that in the equation in HG-502.3, the specified minimum tensile strength at room temperature shall be 34,000 psi (235 MPa)and the design factor shall be 7 in lieu of 5.
(f) All boiler parts or sections shall be built according to the Material Specification requirements. Each boiler section, including end and intermediate cored sections, shall show the following data cast in letters or numerals at least 5 ⁄ 16 in. (8 mm) high:
(1) the Material Specification identification number
(2) the boiler or parts manufacturer’s name or acceptable abbreviation, preceded by the words “Certified by” or “Cert. by”
(3) maximum allowable working pressure
(4) maximum water temperature
(5) pattern number
(6) casting date
(7) the name of the shop-assembler in possession of a Code Symbol Stamp and a valid Certificate ofAuthorization. Arrangement of the data shall be substantially as shown in Fig. 1. Other data may be cast on the sections.
(g) When the boiler size and number of sections has been decided, the completed boiler shall be marked with the Code Symbol shown in Fig. HG-530.1 and with the data specified in HG-530.2(b).
(h) This Case number shall be shown on the H-5 Data Report.ASME 2344-1 pdf download.ASME 2344-1-2007 pdf free download
