The deflection of Type 304L austenitic stainless steel can lids on inner 3013 containers is monitored to identify any buildup of pressure within the container. This paper provides the technical basis to conclude that creep-induced deformation of these lids will be insignificant unless the temperature of storage exceeds 400 C. This conclusion is based on experimental literature data for Types 304 and 316 stainless steel and on a phenomenological evaluation of potential creep processes.
