Note Deciphering

Note Deciphering

Note Deciphering

(OP)
I am posting here as I am not sure what other Forum to place this in.  I have a drawing of a 1080 gallon tank, working pressure of 200psig, listed as a vertical air tank.  There are two flanged openings, and I have never worked with flanged openings before.  There is a note pointing to one of the openings that reads:

6"-150# R.F.S.O.
FLG. W/SCH. 80
PIPE X 7 5/8"LG.

What do letters in green mean?

It means "I don't want anyone to be able to read these letters on a purple background..."

I believe it means Raised-Face Slip On (a specific type of flange). Anyone, please correct me if I'm wrong... I'm not a flange expert.

Yes, RFSO Raised-Face Slip On. I would leave the periods off.

I think there's a pressure vessel forum or similar, may have someone who knows for sure.
