Flanges and Valves temperature pressure limits generally govern what the design temperature / pressure limits of your piping classes will be.
As stated above the temporary increase in pressure or temperature permitted in B31.3 are also allowed for all the fittings/flanges/valves permitted in...
A high pressure steam system is very dangerous. Ensure that all the work you are doing is properly checked by an experienced engineer.
Usually your company would have a piping spec which is being used for steam systems. This piping systems would contain the maximum allowable working pressure...
