Use flange ASME B16.5 for Pressure Vessel design by EN 13445

[nashki]

Dear contributors,

Is it possible to use ASME B16.5 flange (pressure rating) to design pressure vessel by EN 13445?

Is there any specific requirement to be fulfilled?

Does EN 13445 allow use of ASME codes?

If not then not really - look at the code very carefully to see or use the flange code it states.

And read this post which is basically the same question.

Looks like you need to use EN 1759, but get the flange dual certified to B16.5....

LittleInch,

Yes, i have compared the B16.5 and EN 1759, but the EN not fully adopt the B16.5

For example, material A-182-F51 is not available in EN 1759, which is in ASME in the material group 2.8

Well you can't have everything!

If you insist on using something only available in B16 5 and not an alternative then you can't do it using an EN PV code.
