Referring to the thread above, I have a similar case, with a blind acc. to B16.47 type B with a centered hole.
Problem: I would reinforce the hole with a sort of reinforced LWN, but in the calculation of the reinforcement the Area Required shall be calculated acc. to UG-39 (a)(1) formula, where t is calculated as per UG-34 (c)(2)(2).
Even if reinforcement check would be ok, there is a problem: "t" (as minimum required thickness) acc. to UG-34 is higher than B16.47 std blind flange. Is it anyway acceptable as analysis? It's odd because I could skip blind thickness calculation because of pressure rating of B16.47...thanks
