Room temperature, +AT (1080–1150 °C), t ≤ 150 mm.

Service temperature

EN 10213: impact requirement at −196 °C. Like CF3M and 316L, not used above 455 °C (ASME B16.34). EN 1092-1 group 13E0: 500 °C.

This is the limit of the material itself. A valve's service temperature is usually set by the seal and seat materials; product pages give it for each seal option.
