Have you checked the requirements B16.5 spells out for this in chapter 4?

Also, are these only blind flanges or reducing flanges without hubs? Refer to 5.1(a)(1).

Well do you feel lucky?

If the supplier hadn't attempted the flange with some sort of inspector, why do you believe that the flange meets the required specification??

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.
