Case 2083
Alloy UNS N06690 Up to 1200F
Section I
Inquiry: May solution annealed Ni-Cr-Fe Alloy
(UNS N06690) seamless pipe and tube in sizes 5 in.
O.D. and under that meet the requirements of SB-167
be used for superheater tubes in Section I, welded
construction at temperatures up to and including
1200F?
Reply: It is the opinion of the Committee that solution
annealed Ni-Cr-Fe alloy (UNS N06690) seamless pipe
and tube in sizes 5 in. O.D. and under as described
in the Inquiry may be used for superheater tubes in
Section I construction, provided the following additional
requirements are met.
(a) The tubes shall be manufactured to ASME SB-
167 UNS N06690, cold nished, annealed at 1900F
minimum.
(b) The maximum allowable stress values shall be
those given in Table 1.
(c) The material shall be treated as P-No. 43 for
all welding procedure and performance qualications
conducted in accordance with Section IX.
(d) For PG-27.4 Note (6), the y values shall be as
follows:
(1) 1150F and below, y p 0.4;
(2) above 1150F up to and including 1200F,
y p 0.5.
(e) All material which is cold strained more than
5% during forming or fabrication shall be reannealed
at a temperature of 1900F min.
(f) This Case number shall be identied in the
documentation and marking of the material, and on
the Manufacturers Data Report.

NOTE:
(1) 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 66
2

3
%, but do not exceed 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 anges of gasketed joints, or other
applications where slight amounts of distortion can cause leakage
or malfunction.
