Could anyone tell me the minimum allowable temperature for SA 516-70N and what standards or code I can refer to? Thanks a lot.

RE: The minimum allowable temperature for SA 516-70N
Generally carbon steel is no "adequate" for temperatures below -29ºC (-20ºF), but SA-516 if normalized has good working below that temperature.
For example, if temperature is -48ºC(-55ºF) or less you will need to make impact test for any thickness you have.
For other temparutes it depends of the thicknes. Please, have a look in the code.
Take note that independtly of the material and impact test you have for shell and heads (assuming you are talking about a pressure vessel...) you must considere material used for nozzles and flanges.
