Thickness of Gland Flange Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Thickness of Gland Flange = (Diameter of Shaft/8)+12.5
h = (d_shaft/8)+12.5
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Thickness of Gland Flange - (Measured in Millimeter) - Thickness of Gland Flange a protruded ridge, lip or rim, either external or internal for stabilizing and guiding the movements of a machine or its parts.Gland flanges are used in ball valve stuff box.
Diameter of Shaft - (Measured in Millimeter) - Diameter of Shaft is defined as the diameter of the hole in the iron laminations that contains the shaft.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Diameter of Shaft: 12 Millimeter --> 12 Millimeter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h = (d_shaft/8)+12.5 --> (12/8)+12.5

Evaluating ... ...

h = 14

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.014 Meter -->14 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

14 Millimeter <-- Thickness of Gland Flange

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

< 10+ Design of Stuffing Box and Gland Calculators

Thickness of Stuffing Box Body

Go Thickness of Stuffing Box Body = (Design Pressure of Stuffing Box*Internal Diameter Stuffing Box)/(2*Allowable Stress for the Stuffing Box Material)+6

Load on Gland

Go Load by Gland = (pi/4)*Design Pressure of Stuffing Box*(Internal Diameter Stuffing Box^(2)-Diameter of Shaft^(2))

Diameter of Stud under Load

Go Stud Diameter = (Load by Stud*4/pi*1/(Number of Bolts*Allowable Stress in Stud Material))^(0.5)

Diameter of Bolt under Load

Go Bolt Diameter = (Load by Stud*4/pi*1/(Number of Bolts*Allowable Stress in Stud Material))^(0.5)

Load taken by Studs

Go Load by Stud = (pi/4)*(Stud Diameter^(2)*(Number of Bolts*Allowable Stress in Stud Material))

Load taken by Bolts

Go Load by Bolt = (pi/4)*(Bolt Diameter^(2)*(Number of Bolts*Allowable Stress in Stud Material))

Internal Diameter of Stuffing Box

Go Internal Diameter Stuffing Box = Diameter of Shaft+2*Clearance between Shaft and Stuffing Box

Clearance between Shaft and Stuffing Box if Shaft Diameter is Greater than 100mm

Go Clearance between Shaft and Stuffing Box = 2.5*(Diameter of Shaft)^0.5

Clearance between Shaft and Stuffing Box if Shaft Diameter is less than equal to 100mm

Go Clearance between Shaft and Stuffing Box = 0.2*Diameter of Shaft+5

Thickness of Gland Flange

Go Thickness of Gland Flange = (Diameter of Shaft/8)+12.5

Thickness of Gland Flange Formula

Thickness of Gland Flange = (Diameter of Shaft/8)+12.5
h = (d_shaft/8)+12.5

What is Gland Flange?

Flanged gland seals are shaft seals that mount to the outside of pedestal trough ends and are used to prevent bulk materials from leaking out of a screw conveyor or feeder. Flanged gland seals consist of an outer housing, multiple rings of packing and a follower.

How to Calculate Thickness of Gland Flange?
