Depends on the pitch of the orchestra. Could well be 435.

There were two kinds of B-flat clarinets made by the manufacturers. One was
a B-flat clarinet and the other was characterized as a B-flat clarinet HP,
meaning high pitched. The need for both instruments derived from the fact
that when a player was contacted for a job, he invariably asked, "What
pitch?" And depending on the answer to that question, he chose the B-flat
clarinet or the B-flat clarinet HP.

But that is not the same as a clarinet in B-natural, though it might work if

one were required. I once had a guy who brought such a clarinet to my
attention, and I was stupid enough to think that it was just a badly made
instrument. I should have bought it and used it as a clarinet in B-natural.

You would have found it rather flat. I've tried it and did.
