Ok, guys I am in a 9 line bind. I have a small issue with a High Pressure steam line. And a hard headed engineer. Due to space limitations in the field, I need to tap a 16″ 600# Blind Flange CS A105, I need to place an 8″ 90 deg Ell directly to the flange. I need some engineering back up that this is possible.

Operating Conditions are:

47Barg @ 390C and 40T/HR

Basically using the blind as a slip on.
