PN 16 rating is valid up to 120°C. Between 120°C and 300°C, allowable pressure decreases as material yield strength reduces. Consult HT PIPE engineering for elevated-temperature applications above 120°C.

⚠ Design Note
Slip-on flanges rely on the fillet weld for strength. They are not recommended for cyclic loading or high-vibration service. For critical applications, use welding neck flanges (DIN 2545 / EN 1092-1 Type 11) instead.
