yes, I'm leaning towards brazing the the brass flange to the Cu pipe. This is for a water cooling supply line. I guess in the end what I'm looking to do is have the most reliable joint, so I'm weighing the ease of soldering at lower...
I need to install a brass flange on a 3" OD Type K Copper Pipe. The operating pressure will be <150 psig. My initial thought was to braze the flange to the pipe for a stronger joint. However, I've been debating if that is overkill and should simply solder the joint together. Are there any...
Mike, I am trying to limit my flange thickness, so I was going for a forged flange with a hub to add some rigidity. The hub also allows for some extra real estate to attach some connection lugs that we'll need to weld to it.
AB53Mech, the ring thickness right now is at 2.5 inches with a hub...
Also, I know that you can normalize A-105. Will this eliminate the internal stresses? Is normalized A-105N material allowed for a flange designed per ASME BPVC VIII-1 Appendix 2?
Are there specific material requirements for split flanges? I would like to take a forged A-105 carbon steel hubbed flange to make it as a loose backing ring split flange, but I'm not sure if the internal residual stresses will cause the ring to warp after it is cut. Are there any specific...
