latest addenda of API 941. 1 1/4 Cr – 1/2 Mo materials shall be limited to design temperature equal to or
less than 440°C (825°F). The material selection shall be based on hydrogen partial pressure adjusted for
design pressure, [PHydrogen @ Design P = PHydrogen @ Operating P (PDesign / POperating)] at design temperature and low
alloy materials must satisfy the following additional requirements:

a. Fabrication using 1 1/4 Cr-1/2 Mo plate, pipe and forgings:

1. Materials and fabrication shall comply with API RP 934-C if the material thickness is greater than or
equal to 25 mm (1 in) with thickness as defined in the scope of API RP 934-C.

2. 2 1/4 Cr – 1 Mo material may be substituted for 1 1/4 Cr-1/2 Mo material only if requested at the
time of quotation and shall be in compliance with Subparagraph 5.1.1 b.

b. Fabrication using 2 1/4 Cr-1 Mo plate, pipe, and forgings: if the design temperature is equal to or greater
than 440°C (825°F) and the component thickness is equal to or greater than 75 mm (3 in), then full
compliance with API RP 934-A is required.

NOTES TO TABLE V: (All references to Division 1 or Division 2 refer to ASME Section VIII)

1. Any material listed for a colder temperature range may be used in a warmer temperature range. For
example, SA-312 Gr TP304 pipe may be used in the temperature range of -48.3°C (-55°F) (see Note 2
below) to -29.4°C (-21°F) for pipe. Unless otherwise specified, the thicknesses listed in a given
temperature range are maximum material thicknesses for that temperature range.

2. The temperature ranges of - 29 to - 48°C (-21 to -55°F), - 49 to -104°C (-56 to -155°F), and -104
to -195°C (-155 to -319°F) are for Section VIII and B31.3 applications. The temperature limits indicated
herein may be changed and the impact test requirements of the material or testing specification modified
when the applicable code of construction requires methods of impact property verification other than
those listed in the designated specifications.

3. 3 1/2% Ni forging materials have an intermittent history of having welding problems. If available
fabricators do not have successful experience with this material, austenitic stainless steel is a better
choice. SA-333 Gr 3 (3 1/2% Ni) piping materials are not normally used. For design or normal
operating MDMT's colder than - 48.3°C (- 55°F) (see Note 2), consult with the assigned staff metallurgist
or select from the materials listed for temperatures colder than -104°C (-155°F).

4. Unless exempted by Division 1, Paragraph UG-20(f) and Paragraph UCS-66, or Division 2, 3.11.2, this
material shall be impact tested at the MDMT or colder and meet the requirements of Division 1,
Paragraph UG-84, or Division 2, 3.11.2 as applicable.

5. Refer to Division 1, UCS-66 or Division 2, 3.11.2 to determine the desirability of normalizing, and
whether impact testing in accordance with the applicable code is required.

6. See materials designated per curve D in Division 1, Fig. UCS-66 or Division 2, 3.11.2.

7. Any other material permitted by ASME B31.3 may be used for piping assemblies when the wall
thickness is 12.5 mm (1/2 in) or less. Pipe that is manufactured from SA-134, SA-139, and SA-211
materials may be used only for air or water service.

8. ASME B16.5, B16.47 Series A, and standard long weld necks (LWN).

Ferritic steel flanges conforming to ASME B16.5 or B16.47 and standard long weld neck flanges that
have a neck outside diameter not exceeding the hub diameter specified in ASME B16.5 (also called
Long Weld Neck flanges) are exempt from impact testing at temperatures not colder than -29°C (-20°F).
Thick nozzle necks used for integral reinforcement must be evaluated in accordance with UCS-66 and
Figure UCS-66.3, or Division 2, 3.11.2 or Fig. 3.9 to 3.11 shows the governing thickness at a vessel
shell attachment.

9. Tubesheets, flat covers, and barrel forgings (i.e., "hollow cylinder forgings" including integral types with
or without a hub for butt welded attachment) shall conform to SA-765 or SA-266 or SA-965. Other non-
standard flanges (such as main body flanges) that exceed ASME B16.5 nominal sizes and having a
design pressure/temperature rating greater than Class 300, and ASME B16.47 flanges that exceed
Class 300 shall conform to SA-765 or SA-266 or SA-965.

When determining impact testing exemptions or requirements, the governing thickness for welded
nozzle type forgings is at the weld ends where buttwelds are made. The governing thickness for flat
heads or tube sheets is the larger of the flat component thickness divided by 4 or the thickness of the
pressure part attachment at the welded joint. Refer to ASME Section VIII, Division 1, UCS-66(a) and
Figure UCS-66.3, or Division 2, 3.11.2 or Fig. 3.9 to 3.11.

tested in accordance with the applicable Code. For ASME B31.3 and other applications, such steels
shall be tested in accordance with ASME B31.3, Paragraph 323.3.

11. See Table I.

12. The maximum thickness of the part of a structural shape welded directly to a pressure containing
component shall be 19 mm (3/4 in). When heavier thicknesses are required, or plate or pipe materials
are used, the part shall be fabricated from materials conforming to the specification listed in Table V for
the type component to which they are welded.

13. Weld and HAZ impact test requirements for PQR's and production test plates as appropriate shall be in
accordance with the applicable ASME Code.

14. The material is suitable for ASME fittings and valves.

15. ASME specifications have the same numerical designation as the ASTM specifications, but are
preceded by SA instead of A (e.g., SA-203). ASME specifications shall be in accordance with
ASME Section II, Part A.

16. Impact testing is required for thicknesses greater than 6 mm (0.237 in). Use of SA-179 and SA-214
tubing in the temperature ranges shown is limited to Section VIII, Division 1 and 2 applications only.
These specifications have a maximum diameter limit of 75 mm (3 in). Above either of these limits, use
impact tested tubing as indicated.

17. For Section VIII, Division 1 and 2 applications only, non impact tested pipe may be used for pressure
applications (i.e., nozzle necks) in which the pipe is no greater than NPS 4 and not exceeding 6 mm
