3.4 Rating Temperature
The temperature shown for a corresponding pressure- temperature rating is the temperature of the pressure- containing shell of the flange or flanged fitting. In gencr4. this temperature is the same as that of the contained fluid, Use of a pressure-temperature rating corresponding to a temperature other than that of the contained fluid ts the responsibility of the uwt subject to the applicable cede or regulation, For any temperature below
-29°C (-Z)°F), the pressure-temperature rating shall be no greater than the pressure—temperature rating for
-29°C(-20°F).Seepara 6.4.1 for temperaturelimitatiorts on use of ASIN A)7 bolting.
3.5 Low•Tsmpcrature Service
It is the responsibility of the user to verify that all of the component materials (i.e.. flange, bolting, and gasket. etc.) selected are acceptable for use in temperature appltcations below -29°C(-2t1°F). When permitted, copper alloy fbngr-s and flanged fittings manufactured in accordance with this Standard assembled with suitable bolting and gaskets, and subject to the applicable code or regulations shall pot be used at tresperaturs’s below
—I’M°C (—325°F).
16 System Nydwostatic Test
flanged joints and flanged fittings may be subjected to system hydrostatic tests at peessures not to exceed 1.5 times the tabulated pressure at 3$5C (ltirF). System testing at higher pressures is the responsibility of the user, subject to the rvquiresnt-nts of the applicable code or regulatior-.s
