NPT and ANSI to Metric transition
NPT and ANSI to Metric transition
(OP)
I am currently involved in a project wherein US made components such as Pipe thread and ANSI flanges will need to be mated up to the Metric(DN) standard pipe and flanges in Europe (specifically Spain). I am looking for information which will let me steer contractors to the right parts, components and products to make the connections. If someone could explain to me or send me info which will enable us to accomplish the above I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

That will take care of the threaded connections.

For flanged connections, somebody probably has to make a spool piece. The simplest tactic, IMHO, is to supply a usable blind flange instead of a thin shipping cover. That also _should_be_ documented somewhere...

It is basically the same with flanges although I know that spool pieces for welding neck flanges can sometimes be manufactured just be welding the two flanges together. There are various DIN and ANSI flanges which have the same pipe OD. This must not be done for pressure vessels but for non-pressurized connections this is common practice.
