CONCLUSION:
FLANGE SUMMARY
Flange thickness (without C.A.) 1.29857 INCH 32.98372 MM
Use t for construction including R.F. 2.04724 INCH 52 MM
For a proper design of flange :
1. You have to make a check for flange deflection.

Total actual cross-sectional area of bolts, Ab 15.428 INCH2 9953.528 MM2
Actual cross-sectional area of bolt, [TEMA TABLE D-5] 0.551 INCH2 355.4832 MM2
Since the actual bolt area Ab > The required bolt area Am,
the bolts are adequately enough.

Check for Flat Channel Cover Deflection [TEMA RCB-9.21]
The effective thickness of a flat channel cover shall be the thickness at the
bottom of the pass partition groove (or the face if there is no groove) minus
corrosion allowance in excess of groove depth. The thickness is to be at
least that required by the appropriate Code formula and thicker if required
to meet proper deflection criteria.
The recommended limit for channel cover deflection is:
0.03" for nominal diameters thru 24" 0.03 INCH 0.762 MM
0.125% of nominal diameters (nominal diameter/800) for larger sizes 0.025 INCH 0.635 MM
Nominal diameter = Shell ID + 2 ts 20 INCH 508 MM
A method for calculating of channel cover deflection at the center, Y is:
G
Y =
ET 3
(
0.0435G 3 P+0.5S B A B h G )
Where G = Gasket load reaction diameter as defined by the Code 21.5039 INCH 546.1978 MM

E = Modulus of elasticity at design temperature [ASME Sec.II,Part D, TM-31460000 PSI 2214784.07 Kg/CM G
T = Thickness under consideration (minus groove and C.A.) 1.29921 INCH 33 MM
P = Design pressure 71.7082 PSIG 5.04826 Kg/CM2G
SB = Allowable bolting stress at design temperature (Wm1) 25000 PSIG 25000 Kg/CM2G
AB =Actual total cross-sectional root area of bolts 15.428 INCH2 9953.528 MM2
