So if you can find one of those you could try that... Otherwise you're into special flange design. See similar posts below. Basically choose a different flange spec (Norsok L-005)or design a special flange to ASME VIII design https://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=303388https://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=290524https://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=377536 36" class 1500 is a huge force. I would weld it.... Remember - More details = better answers Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it. Upvote 0 Downvote
