You are so sensible but this is NZ. There are no parts in stock and the freight alone on a one off for the flange would cost a small fortune. We have looked all over and the closest we can do is one Sched 160 endcap which would need remachining inside. Class 900 RTJ flange was $650 class 1500 RTJ was $1500 but nothing else in NZ. The weight of an RTJ blank would be about 200 kg at a guess and trying to get reuse out of the joint ring would be a hassle. We could machine the flanges and put an O’ring in which would get around that issue. Because our Female prime minister caught Mad Cow Disease the oil exploration has ceased and Shell are firing all the kiwis all round the world in retaliation. SGS will still charge 1500 for a certificate on design and another 1000 for witnessing welding and pressure test. You can see what drives me crazy about this country.
