I have a question for folks who handle pumps regularly. Almost all pumps are made for water, or sewage. How do you identify if a pump is rated to handle liquid metal or hot fluids (heated chemicals, or contents under extreme pressure)

I have never heard of a standard class of pumps for this....other than basically finding a manufacturer who specialized in these sort of pumps.

You're thinking of temperature and viscosity parameters.

Read the data sheets and look for those terms, or look for manufacturers of pumps that maximize both.
