Optional type of flange 8a (ASME code)
Optional type of flange 8a (ASME code)
(OP)
If I design a flange like in sketch 2-4 8a as integral, what are the "h" and "g1" values I should use? See the drawing.
I'm not sure if I am supposed to calculate as a normal weld neck flange, or consider only the dimensions of the weld fillet.
Thanks.

As per ASME code, that flange can be calculated as integral or loose, but, in my opinion, the code is not 100% clear about what are the h and g1 dimensions to be considered.
If I look to sketch 7 it seems to me that I have to consider only dimensions of weld fillet, but, if that's the case, it doesn't make sense to use a hubbed flange.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
