Can anyone tell me what is the maximum seating stress for Ring Type Gasket ( Octagonal ring ) having SS soft iron with BHN 90 ?

As minimum seating stress is given in ASME that is 18000 to 26000 PSI, but maximum what would be ?? This is required to calculate the maximum bolt load for RTJ flange joint.

Thanks,
