54.05-30—Allowable stress values at low temperatures.
(a)
The Coast Guard will give consideration to the enhanced yield and tensile strength properties of ferrous and nonferrous materials at low temperature for the purpose of establishing allowable stress values for service temperature below 0 °F.
(b)
The use of such allowable stress values must be specially approved by the Coast Guard for each application. Further information may be obtained by writing to the Coast Guard CG-521.
(c)
Submittals must include information and calculations specified by the Coast Guard CG-521 to demonstrate that the allowable stress for the material cannot be exceeded under any possible combination of vessel loads and metal temperature.
