(2) Due to the relatively low yield strength of this material, 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 662⁄3%, 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 flanges of gasketed joints or other
applications where slight amounts of distortion can cause leakage or malfunction.

Reply: It is the opinion of the Committee that, as

an alternative to the requirements of Appendix I, Sup-
plement 1 and Section V, Article 4, when calibration
blocks of the same material specification, product
form, and heat treatment condition as the material
to be examined are not available, calibration blocks
fabricated from material of similar chemical analysis,
