Flat Face Reverse Flange Design

[pperlich]

I am working on a Flat Face Reverse Flange design, and it seems that Taylor Forge has presented the most widely accepted method for Flat Face Flange design.

Does their Bulletin 205 (or 45?) offer details for the flange that I am working on?
Where can I get a copy?

Thank you!

pperlich, Taylor Forge Bulletin #502 does present a full face (I assume this is what you meant) design worksheet, while Bulltin #45 is a more(?) in-depth presentation of the method. You can Google up #502, and perhaps #45 as well.

That said, I don't think either one will directly present a method specifically for reverse flanges. You will likely have to adapt one to the other, good luck with it

Regards,

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand

Thanks Mike.

Flat face vs. Raised face flange is what I meant, using full face gaskets (not ring gaskets). Maybe I've been using the wrong terminology all this time, idk.

pperlich, a flange can be flat faced (no facing) without be full-faced (bolt holes in the gasket). To be pedantic about it
