>Are the European specs simply conversions to ASME?
No. I think the present standards are ISO anyway and not DIN. I thought your first post said you were looking for ANSI flanges. I tried doing this conversion once in a past life--it doesn't work, chiefly because DIN and ISO are set up to somewhat different design criteria and much of the loading corresponds to metric bolting: different bolt sizes and material mechanical properties make for different geometry.

What exactly are you looking to do?
