Dear Friends,

I am searching for some documents for a comparative study of different Flange stress/leakage analyis methods as per ASME VIII DIV1, ASME III , B31.8, EN1591 and DIN standards.

I don't know German language and also I don't have a copy of AD MERKBLATTER and DIN 2505.

I would appreciate if anyone can give me a reference of any website/technical paper/text book, where I can get a reference od AD MERKBLATTER and DIN 2505.

Also I am interested to purchase the technical paper by Waters, Rossheim et al ( 1937 ) based
on which the ASME stress equations evolved.If some has it , please let me know.
