This paper reviews the properties of aluminum alloys that are especially desirable for pressure vessels and certain chemical and processing equipment. Fourteen of the alloys covered by ASTM Specification B 209-60 T@ having specified tensile strengths in the annealed condition ranging from 9500 to 42@000 psi@ are approved by the ASME Code for pressure vessel applications.
