Hitokiri, there...

Hello,
Could anyone provide insight into the operability of process monoflanges used for DBB PIT isolation (to replace 2" DIBs or the typical three-valve config.). Also, could someone suggest any preferred suppliers? I know Shell uses the Multi-instruments brand, and my ASME B31.3 instructor...
Hello,

Thanks!
