Piping codes allow some short periods of operation above design pressure/temperature, but the components like flanges need separate consideration.
When I look in ANSI B16.5 (1.2.2) it refers to ASME boiler code for over pressure limitations.
Where in the ASME code are the rules about operation at a pressure exceeding design ratings? The best I can find is 16% over pressure when safety valves are discharging.
Thanks
Kevin
