Due to the relatively low yield strength of these materials, these higher stress values were
establishedattemperatureswheretheshorttimetensilepropertiesgoverntopermittheuseof
these alloys where slightly greater deformation is acceptable. The stress values in this range
exceed 66 2/3 % but do not exceed 90% of the yield strength at temperature. Use of these
G5 stresses may result in dimensional changes due to permanent strain. These stress values are
not recommended for the flanges of gasketed joints or other applications where slight amounts
of distortion can cause leakage or malfunction. For Section III applications, Table Y 2 lists

For temperatures above 550C, these stress values may be used only if the material is heat
