biquiry: 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 of ASTM B 26/B 26M-97 he used in Section IV, Part HC, construction of heating boilers?
Reply: It is the opinion of the 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 wekling is permitted.
(I,) In lieu of SecLion IV, HC-200 through HC-213, all applicable requirements of ASTM B 26/B 26M-97 and Tables I 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 I 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 diler may be hydrostatically tested at 2 times the maximum allowable working pressure, provided the test pressure does not exceed I times the design pressure of the next limiting part. If 2 times hydro exceeds I times the design pressure of any part of the completed vessel, then the 2 times test is only performed on the casting, and the assembled boiler must be tested at 1 /6.
(e) Proof testing to establish design pressure is requiredand shall comply with HG-501 and HG-502.3,except thatin the equation in HG-502.3, the specified minimum tensilestrength at room temperature shall be 34,000 psi (235MPa)and the design factor shall be 7 in lieu of 5.
(f) All boiler parts or sections shall be built accordingto the Material Specification requirements. Each boilersection,including end and intermediate cored sections,shall show the following data cast in letters or numeralsat least %6 in. (8 mm) high:
(l) the Material Specification identification number(2 ) the boiler or parts manufacturer’s name or accept-able 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 ofa Code Symbol Stamp and a valid Certificate of Authoriza-tion. Arrangement of the data shall be substantially asshown in Fig.1.Other data may be cast on the sections.(g) When the boiler size and number of sections hasbeen decided, the completed boiler shall be marked withthe Code Symbol shown in Fig. HG-530.1 and with thedata specified in HG-530.2(b).
(h) This Case number shall be shown on the H-5 Data Report.
