What exactly do you mean with associated temperature? The lowest tempeature you can use them at, with or without impact testing? Which code do you use?
If it's for B31.3, refer to table A-1; -425 °F *. You can go lower, refer to para 323.2.2. So the question stands; what exactly do you want or require?
Furthermore, if you want to use flanges at such low temperatures, make sure you have the correct bolting and gaskets to assure good leakfree sealing.

Great thanks. Yes, question was about B31.3 and the minimum design temperature of the material.
