This document is for discussion, comments and suggestions. The purpose is to demonstrate the dimensions of the 42” 150# flange in relation to bolt load requirements for leak tightness. The 300# flange is used to illustrate the differences and the cause for possible tightness problems in case a spiral wound gasket is used
