<p>CORROSION RESISTANT BOURDON TUBE A corrosion resistant Bourdon tube for pressure gauges and the like formed of a vacuum purified ferritic stainless steel containing by weight about 26 percent chromium, about 1 percent molybdenum and ultra-low carbon and nitrogen content on the order of about 0.002 and 0.008 percent, respectively. By virtue of the metallurgical. structure of this composition affording good weldability and ductility, a Bourdon tube fabricated therefrom is characterized by substantial immunity to chloride stress cracking, and high resistance to both sulfide damage and pitting corrosion.</p> |
