ASME vs API Flange Pressure Ratings by AKSHAY BHATKAR is a document available to read on EtoBox.

API and ASME/ANSI flanges can have the same bolt circle dimensions but have different pressure rating systems. API flanges specify allowable materials and have a set pressure rating, while ASME rates pressure based on material and temperature. Though dimensions are the same, API flanges are rated for higher pressures and are used in refinery systems handling flammable fluids, while ASME flanges are more common for industrial water and gas systems.
