There are different ways to manufacture flanges for ASME B16.5. If you have a copy of ASME B16.5 you would know that flanges can be fabricated from several product forms - castings, plate and forgings. Take your pick. Please review the appropriate material specification and B16.5.
This is becoming pretty annoying now. It's probably the 4th topic you've started here within a week, for which you've made double/triple/quadruple every time.
Now again. Please be patient in receiving replies. People may not react within a day, it sometimes takes a little more time.
We also have other jobs to do.
Furthermore, if you feel your topic has received to little attention, you may bump it (but don't bump within a day or two!), rather then making a completely new topic (i.e. double post).
