Interpass temperature on stainless

After welding your first pass welding stainless sockets elbows and flanges I know that there's a temperature range before you can weld your second pass so my question is at what temperature is it safe to weld my second pass?

Thank you I read the entire file and there's no mention of interpass temperature and ranges. Although I did find some literature that stated to let it cool till it reaches 150 degrees before you can start your second pass. It's been 8 years since the last time I had to worry about that but on this job you better have your digital temperature Gun.
