A casing assembly for a compressor where traditional inlet and discharge nozzles are replaced with a mounting surface created from weld filler or weld material applied to the outside surface of a casing. The weld material and a portion of the outside surface of the casing are cooperatively milled to create a generally planar or flat surface having a casing conduit centrally-disposed therein. A flange may then be coupled to the flat surface for the inlet or discharge of a process gas. |
