Requirements for manufacturing flanges in shop for exchangers
Requirements for manufacturing flanges in shop for exchangers
(OP)
Thanks in advance for any answers to my questions.
I have an exchanger with a machined flange that is used as a slip on with a groove for a split ring to connect the barrel of a hairpin exchanger. What requirements are there for a shop making this flange? Does it require a coded shop to make the flanges? The only requirements I can seem to find is that the flange must be made in accordance with B16.5 and marked per MSS SP-25. Does this mean that my in house shop can machine a pressure blind or plate of steel to make the necessary components?

RE: Requirements for manufacturing flanges in shop for exchangers
BUT, you would be able to buy a plate/forged ring/disc and machine the flange yourself.
