RE: Flange bolt-holes orientation

ARE YOU BEING SERIOUS !??!!?! When the line is being fabricated as a spool, the fabricator doesnt know that the line is necessarily running NW (Very probably using spooling drawings). The bolts will still stradle the principle CL of the pipe. i.e. They will treat the line (running NW) as though it was running north and orientate the boltholes either side of that.
