Quick way to connect ANSI flanges?

Has anyone seen or know of a way to quickly connect and disconnect flanges? or some kind of universal clamp design?
I tryingto find a way to be able quickly pressure test multiple sizes on the same test rig.

For very modest pressures (<1barg), a big flat flange with a rubber face and a bunch of deep throat C-clamps will work okay.
For more serious pressures, consider regular flanges with quick-acting fixture nuts.

Trying to find a fast way to connect flanges with out having to use match class rating on mating flange.
If it does have to match find a way to assemble and disassemble quickly.

Remember that if you can use something like these plugs always use a safety gag.

In line with the post by here are two providers of hydrotest rigs that I'm familiar with. if the quantity of test warrants either of these companies can furnish a special test rig.
Calder has the flange clamps for testing but they require an appropriate size flange to clamp on to.
