We often see projects where engineers specify a massive flange (like Class 600) but fail to check the Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP) at the actualoperating temperature.
As the temperature climbs, the metal’s strength drops—dramatically.
⚠️ Always design for the worst-case scenario. A “standard” rating at room temperature is often dangerously misleading.
