I am under the opion that by reducing the hub lenght of a 600# flange it does not change the rating as long as the min thickness `C` is kept Quoted from a ASME site "Question Does ASME B16.5-1996 have a required tolerance for a lapped ,slip-on,or socket welding flange for the overall lenght...
Would someone know of an alternatitive method of cleaning stainless steel convoluted hoses other than using tirchloroethylene.And weather it is approved by any testing laboratory.
Thanks Tony
