18" Class 2500 flange
18" Class 2500 flange
(OP)
I got an easy question today from a sales guy, well thought it would be an easy question...
He asked me if there was any problem with designing a valve with an NPS 18 Class 2500 flange and my first reaction was that it would be a pretty badass flange but saw no real problem with it. Then I started looking through my B16.5 standard as saw that 2500 flanges only went up to NPS 12.
So my question to the wise people of this community is this; is there anothe ASME standard out there that has this type of flange or is a BWE the only way to go?

Below, I'll past a link to a manufacturer that makes compact flanges. They have the SPO that is bolted and the Techlok which has a clam-shell connector like Grayloc. We used the Techlok type on a previous project in sizes up to 24" at 10,000 psig design. There are other vendors as well, this is just the one I have info on.
