Alternative to 600 lb flange for pressure vessel
(OP)
I am designing a pressure vessel using a 16 or 18 inch piece of pipe. I need to be able to remove the end of the pipe in order to gain access to the full pipe ID. The vessel will contain water at 1200 psi and 20 C. A 600 lb blind flange would work but is a huge, expensive piece of metal. Are there any other options for such an application? Is there a design standard for using a cut groove and lock rings on the ID of the pipe?

How about using an "off the shelf" head or pipe cap with a standard B16.5 flange?
