Flange rating for 316/316L dual certification
Flange rating for 316/316L dual certification
(OP)
I was unable to find this topic clarified in previous posts. Which table should we use for a dual certified 316/316L flange? Table 2-2.2 or Table 2-2.3 of ASME B16.5?

If you really need to convince him, tell him '316' is in the designation '316/316L'. He cant ignore that.
Otherwise, draw a picture of the chemical range of elements in 316 and 316L, show the overlap, and explain why you can benefit from the 'stronger 316', and chemically more attractive L-grade 316L.
