I do not understand why you people don't even bother to try ... You always post vague questions and then come back with details of what you specifically need at a later date. Let the guessing games begin !!! https://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=216256https://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=327710 MJCronin Sr. Process Engineer Upvote 0 Downvote

Sep 20, 2019 #5 LittleInch Petroleum Joined Mar 27, 2013 Messages 23,008 Location GB "MS Plate" is fairly vague as to the strength of it. As a minimum I would start with the thickness of a normal blind flange and double it. But this is really pretty cheapskate - Buy a forged blind instead to B16.48 or 16.47. And machine in a sealing raised face for the gasket. Remember - More details = better answers Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it. Upvote 0 Downvote
