So that I don't have to look up A193 or rely too much on my memory, what is 'allowance temperature'?

p.s., punctuation would enhance your reputation as a communicator.

In the valve world, the general understanding for SA 193 Gr.B7 low temp limit is -29 Deg.C
Below this, an impact tested steel such as SA 320 Gr.L7 is used dependent on application.

Per ISO-4126, only the term Safety Valve is used regardless of application or design.
 
What the others said. Furthermore, the applicable code of construction will probably have final say in this.
