Mechanical Properties of UNS S31600 Header Plug
These plugs boast strong mechanical integrity due to their austenitic structure and forging process. Note that SS 316L has a slightly lower minimum yield and tensile strength, which is typical for low-carbon grades. Use these minimum values for engineering calculations.
| Property | SS 316 Minimum Value | SS 316L Minimum Value | SS 316H Minimum Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tensile Strength (TS) | 515 MPa (75 ksi) | 485 MPa (70 ksi) | 515 MPa (75 ksi) |
| Yield Strength (YS) | 205 MPa (30 ksi) | 170 MPa (25 ksi) | 205 MPa (30 ksi) |
| Elongation (EL) in 2 in. | 30% min | 30% min | 30% min |
| Hardness (Max HBW) | 187 | 187 | 187 |
