Following is the formula for cylindrical shell.

( If the vessel ends are flat,hemispherical,2:1 ellipsoidal head or any different shape then use the different formula.] t = PR / [SE - 0:6P] t = Minimum required thickness (in.) P = Design pressure (psi) R = Inside radius (in.) S = Allowable stress (psi) [ S=16600 psi for SA516 GR70 plate D = Inside diameter (in.) E = Weld joint efficiency factor, determined by joint location and degree of examination. [E=1 for full radiographic examination] *t = PR / [SE - 0:6P] t = 2000*3.94 / [16600*1 - 0:6*16600] inch. *NB of the top cover =200mm= 8' NB Rating = 2000 psi *You can use the 8' NB * 2000 psi flange. Number of bolts and bolt dia can be found out from any flange standard. You have not given the temperature . Basically flange designing is a subject is a vital topic while designing.
