There was an ASME PVP book in the 80's that had: A.E.Blach, "Bolted Flanged Connections for Non-Circular Pressure Vessels," ASME PVP-? in it.
Basically, get an equivalent circular flange: Use "B" = d*sqrt[Z], & add 2*Flange width to get OD "A" & B+2*{ID to Bolt cL) to get BCD "C"

Check TubeTurns for some fairly old but "standard" calculations. One may also buy a software package by CodeCalc. It has many, not all, of these calculations.
