    Use of SB 564 (UNS-N02200) flange in ASME VIII Div.1 construction

    B564 Gr. N02200 is a listed flange material in ASME B16.5 under Table 2-3.2 but mat'l is not listed in Section VIII, TABLE UNF-23.3. Can I still use this flange for ASME VIII Div.1 COnstruction? Is there any code case or interpritation that would allow me to do so? Thanks for the help.
